You can use third-party tools only on graphics that exist as separate external files; you cannot use them directly on embedded graphics or on FrameMaker vector graphics. However, you can run Mif2Go to export embedded graphics, then use third-party tools to convert them:
1. Run Mif2Go to export embedded graphics as separate files; see §5.7.3.2 Processing embedded graphics separately.
2. Use a third-party graphics program to alter or replace the graphics; save each using the same file name as the original (referenced) or exported (embedded) graphic, but with a different extension.
3. If you specified ASCII DCL as the output type when you exported graphics, to avoid rewriting graphics and recreating DCL files, do one of the following:
• In the Mif2Go Export dialog, check Use Existing DCL file, if any.
• In the configuration file, set the following option:
4. In the configuration file, set the following options:
5. RTF output. Indicate that you want file names to be mapped, and specify both old and new file extensions (without leading periods):
6. HTML output. Indicate that you want to keep the original file names, and specify the new extension:
8. Remember to uncheck Use Existing DCL file, if any (or set UseExistingDCL=No) for later runs, if you change any text in your FrameMaker document.
