Hello ConTeCters, please, is there some trick how to suppress external graphics inclusion into PDF, just only show dummy frames instead? I would like to send the underworked doc with plenty of graphics for proof reading. With graphics it has tens of MB. I tried \setupexternalfigures[option=empty] it shows only frames instead of graphics but graphics is also included, so it resulted in no PDF file size reduction. Thanks Vit

In case of my goal it is the same: graphics incorporated to PDF. If I understand object=no correctly it prevents reusing graphics, so the size even grows if some figures are inserted several times (... yes, verified). vit

Hi All, well, till five minutes ago the command "mptopdf myfile.mp" gives in output "myfile.pdf", but after playing with metafun, now I can't get in output the "myfile.pdf" using the same command; however, "mptopdf" says that "myfile.pdf" has been created, but nothing really happens. How to get "mptopdf" working again? Thanks! jk -- // Jilani KHALDI http://www.archsf.org

The general answer would be: "undo whatever you did while playing". Unfortunately, We do not know what you did precisely, making it hard to guess what is wrong now. There may be a clue inside myfile.log. Otherwise, you will have to write a somewhat longer explanation of what you did and perhaps show some example code as well. Greetings, Taco
