Issue with .cgm Files Converting to Raster Format in pdf after Arbotext (Styler 7.1 )

Hello team,

 

I use .cgm files created in IsoDraw. These graphics contain vector elements and text.
When I publish the file containing these .cgm graphics, they appear in raster format and the text becomes unsearchable.
Are there any settings I need to change to fix this?

 

Thanks and regards
Pavan

Hello Pavan,

I believe you may have raised this question twice now on the Community.

Are you using the APP or FOSI print Engine?

Have you tested using the steps recommended in a previous community thread regarding this behaviour?

I see you have stated Editor with Styler 7.1 - which maintenance release ? For Example 7.1 M???0

If you are publishing with the APP Print Engine, did you test with changing some of the graphicapptransform setting?

Please Note:

  • 7.1 is a very old release stream and may not benefit from the most recent updates and fixes.
  • FOSI and XSL-FO composition is in sustained support
    • No fixes
    • No further upgrades
    • No new releases

  • Corrected in Arbortext Editor 6.0 M140, 6.1 M030 & 7.0 F000 using:
set graphicapptransform=cgm,idr,idrz,iso,isoz:pdf
  • Works for direct to PDF publishing
  • The stylesheet must be using the APP Print Engine for this preference to work
