Thanks Sheila and Art for the patch information. I thought we had the latest.

The MIF issue seems to be that when one does a save as, Frame displays the .mif extension in the file name box. When you try to save to fm, Frame complains because the .mif is part of the file name. Deleting it then allows Frame to save the mif file as fm. I just never noticed this before. On the other hand, it does not complain when saving an fm file to fm, even though the .fm extension is displayed in the file name box. O, the quirkiness of it all!

And the update did not resolve the PDF importation problem. I am going back to my original tack and assuming the problem is with the PDF file. It was created by a program that can view gp4 files (a fax format) but cannot save to another format. So, we just print to PDF. Photoshop can open the PDF, but Illustrator gets bogged down. Hence, the notion that the problem is with the PDF. I think we will buy a cheap conversion program that can save the gp4 file to tif, which can then be imported into the Frame file.

This call worked OK three years ago, but maybe the version of Acrobat at that time created a simpler PDF file.

Thanks again,
Van
