Vector graphics in MS Word
I have pdf files containing vector graphics, and I need to get them to
be in Word format (but still vector quality). Any tips? |

Vector graphics in MS Word
Ideally, get whoever created the PDFs to provide the originals, then import
them into Word. Failing that, select the graphic in the PDF, copy, paste into a graphics application, save, then import that. (PDFs can be set up to prevent this, in which case you'll need one of the Acrobat clones that ignores the document security settings.) "bw" wrote in message oups.com...

Vector graphics in MS Word
I made the PDFs (output of programs printed to pdf printer). The
programs do not produce any other format except a printout. I'll assume Photoshop fits as a graphics application (or Illustrator?). What format should the output be (.eps, .wmf, .svg etc)? I can't get Word to import any vector files yet. Thanks |

If PDF is the only source you've got, then you've got a problem. If you have
the full version of Acrobat, try selecting and copying the graphic. Yes, PhotoShop is a good choice as graphic editor. The best graphic format depends on the graphic. GIF or JPG are usually best. JPGs have more color so are preferable for photographs, but can disintegrate if the graphic is subsequently scaled or rotated. GIFs have only 256 colors, but are much more resilient to subsequent handling. You need to experiment. Whatever you do, don't copyu and paste directly from PhotoShop: that embeds a PhotoShop *object* within the Word document. "bw" wrote in message oups.com...

Vector graphics in MS Word
Thanks Jezebel for your replies.
I do have a fair bit of experience with rasterized graphics (and Photoshop), but vector graphics are totally new to me. I need vector graphics in my Word document because I have to include this rather intricate layout in my report. My final product will be a PDF produced from this Word doc. BTW, I found out that .wmf format works quite well for vector in Word. However, my images always come out in the wrong orientation (I use PStoEdit with Ghostview to convert the PDF to .wmf). Is there any way to rotate it? |
