Re: Using Adobe Illustrator graphics in Adobe FrameMaker

[William Gaffga <wilg@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Is that for the PC version only? When I generate EPS files, I can 
import them and set the background of the image to "None" and the image 
shows transparency, though if the image is rotated, then the 
transparency in the preview is ignored.

My EPS settings in Illy CS: 8-bit color (Mac) preview with 
transparency, Overprints are preserved with Medium resolution, Doc 
thumbnails are included, CMYK PS is included in RGB files and I save 
out to Ps level 2 or 3.

An image I put together showing transparency in an Illy EPs file 
playing nicely <http://wil.bakadigital.com/images/fm_trans.jpg>. Now, 
if you need transparency from a raster image, you will need to make a 
clipping path and that is another story.
