Inserting avi in to Framemaker

Jun 26, 2012 1:28 AM

Hello

When I embed an avi file in to Framemaker, it never shows up in the created pdf.

I'm just doing it via File > Import > Object... selecting Create from File, picking the file and then OK.+

Anyone any ideas?

Not sure if that’s supported – check out Timesavers – I think it handles this sort of thing much better than native FM

Cheers Jeff, I'll look in to that.

If what I asked about isn't supported, what's this all about then? http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FrameMaker/9.0/Using/WSd817046a44e105e21e6 3e3d11ab7f7960b-7e9e.html

As you’ve discovered, you can put it in your FM file; getting it out in a PDF is a whole different kettle of fish ;>)

BTW – OLE support has been gradually downplayed (for security concerns) for several years now; it’s no longer “best practices”

That clears pretty much evrything up, cheers.

So, does everyone use Timesavers then?
