problems with eps graphics in framemaker

[Butler, Darren J Ctr 584 CBSS/GBHAC]

Hello,

'Need a bit more info.

 

>a good sized EPS graphic imported by reference can take 5 minuets

How large are these "good sized" graphics. *.eps files tend to be more
compact.

 

>trouble bringing up EPS graphics imported by reference in FrameMaker
7.2 and FrameMaker 8 documents. JPG, TIF, PNG, and other  formats load
quickly

Have all the layers in the EPS been flattened? Is EPS the original
format for these files?

Are there links within the file to another type of format (such as TIF
or JPEG).

 

>This only happens  when working off the server.

Do you have a different or backup server that you can experiment
loading/importing the file from? The data transfer rate benchmark may
not be giving you the whole picture

 

Blessings,

Darren
