29.2.2.1 Converting FrameMaker vector graphics

RTF

For RTF output, Mif2Go converts native FrameMaker vector graphics into Windows Metafile (WMF) format, to produce metafiles. The metafiles are acceptable to MS Word, to the WinHelp compiler, and to numerous other applications. These particular WMFs are not bitmaps; they are scalable and editable vector graphics.

If the FrameMaker vector graphics in your document include imported bitmaps, those bitmap files must be WMF or BMP. Otherwise you must create or convert them to WMF or BMP equivalents, and map them using settings in configuration section [GraphFiles]; see §29.3.2 Changing graphics files for RTF output.

HTML

Although you can use these WMFs for HTML, they will be viewable only with Internet Explorer, and not with other browsers. To create the WMFs, you must use Mif2Go in a preliminary graphics exporting step ostensibly directed to WinHelp RTF, then start over and target HTML.

For HTML output viewable with browsers other than Internet Explorer, you must direct Mif2Go to use the FrameMaker export filters to convert FrameMaker vector graphics, and specify the output format you want; see §29.2.5 Converting graphics with FrameMaker export filters for the available options.
