Does anyone have experience moving Adobe Illustrator files into Frame4? I'm
having trouble keeping all the information in the drawing when I export.
It's not the FrameMaker connection that's the problem, as far as I can tell.
It's from the Illustrator end. I've tried exporting to .bmp, .cgm, .dxf,
.tif and .wmf files. The .cgm and .wmf options preserve the best image,
whether I import them into Frame or CorelDraw 5, but they're still not
alright. The subscripts come out in the same size and position as other
letters on the same line.
Strangely enough, .eps doesn't seem to be an option. Nor does there appear
to be a "convert text to curves" option, as in CorelDraw. I have Corel 5
and could perhaps run the Illustrator files through that in order to get
them into the proper shape for FrameMaker...
