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?
