Re: FrameMaker enhancement: avoiding PDF bloat

[Lee Richardson <lhr@xxxxxxxxx>]

Jason is creating PDF files at 2400 dpi. On Windows, crop marks are done with bitmaps. At 2400 dpi, that's a lot of bits, so the PDF files get notably larger.

This is logged as a bug, with Jason's sample files, and his item on framemaker-feedback. I think we understand the issue pretty well at this point.

Since FrameMaker offers different options for registration marks (Western, Tombo, or none), we should request that future releases offer simple crop marks which do not bloat PDF file size to avoid making them manually.
