Setting a Web Page’s Media Frame to Download its Original Image File
 
If a Media Frame contains a PDF document, clicking the Media Frame in the web page starts a download of the original PDF document.
 
If a Media Frame contains another type of image file, such as a PNG (Portable Network Graphics) or JPEG, clicking the Media Frame in the web page does nothing.  You can change this behavior in the HTML Export Options sheet.
 

Control-click a Media Frame to show its contextual menu, then choose HTML Export Options....

With the HTML Export Options sheet you can specify what happens when the user clicks the Media Frame’s image in the web page.
 


Set the action that should occur when a user clicks the Media Frame in the web page .

For JPEG images you can control the Media Frame image’s file size by setting its compression factor .


When a Media Frame contains a JPEG image, its web page image is also a JPEG.  The JPEG compression setting in the HTML Export Options sheet lets you set the amount of compression applied to the Media Frame’s web page image.  Increasing the compression generates a smaller file, but can also make the image grainy.
 
The Media Frame image compression setting does not affect the original JPEG document.
 
 
Troubleshooting

“My Media Frame looks faded and grainy in the web version.”
If a Media Frame’s page has a background image, and the Media Frame has a drop shadow or rotation, NoteBook will export the Media Frame’s image as a transparent GIF (even if the Media Frame contains a JPEG image).  Unfortunately transparent GIFs can appear faded and grainy.  If you’re not happy with the results, remove the drop shadow or rotation, or the page’s background image.
