Adventures in #techcomm automation… deep in the muck of file conversions, one man struggles to fix the problems introduced by the conversion. (1/10)
Some co-workers were using FrameMaker. One feature everybody seems to use is its graphic overlays — importing a raster graphic and adding callouts w/o affecting the graphic file itself. Nice, until you have to migrate out. (2/10)
Conversion system's answer: make the overlay an SVG, referencing the underlying raster graphic. Sounds reasonable.
