What should help here is SnagIt. 'Print' to the SnagIt driver to produce a
series of graphical images which you can then insert into your document.
There is a demo from www.techsmith.com.

Dear community,

I am using Office 2003 and Adobe Acrobate 5.

For a client, I need to insert lots of PDF pages (from multipage
PDF-documents) into a Word-document, i.e. the "image" of one single
PDF page on one single Word page (each seperated from the following
by a page break). As the Word document contains header and footer,
the PDF image is about 30% smaller than its original size (= A4; same
paper size for the Word document).

Here is what I am currently doing:
-Select the outline of the PDF page with Adobe's "Graphics select
tool" (GST)
-Copy (Ctrl C) to the Office clipboard
-Repeat for up to 25 PDF pages/images and then switch to Word
-Insert from the Office clipboard into my Word file by "simple"
pasting (Ctrl V; or rather: once you copied the first one, the
clipboard will paste the others "automatically")

The problem is that, after printing, the quality of the PDF "images"
in the Word document is hardly acceptable. This seems astonishing to
me, as the PDFs (presumably created by scanning) are not perfect
quality, but still OK. Plus: As there is a reduction of the image
size (from full A4 to something 30% A4), I would expect that the PDF
image size should even get a little bit "better" than in the original
(?).

As this is urgent, I would appreciate any help! Thanks in advance,
Thommy

PS: Is it normal that after Ctrl C with the GST in Acrobate, only
"Bitmap" and "DI bitmap" are available as options in Word's "Paste
special" dialogue box?
