Including content from a PDF in a word document
I need to put a single page from a PDF file into my word 2003 document
with text around it and arrows pointing to images within the PDF. I have at the moment screenshotted the PDF in acrobat reader, and croped and pasted that, but it looks somewhat.... poor to say the least. Ideally I would like to paste it in (Just the one page) as a drawing object so it maintains the quality of the text and vector graphics in the PDF, as this looks really bad when printed with it captured. I downloaded a program that converted the PDF to a word docco, and while it did convert it, the result wasnt pretty to say the least, and I wasnt able to copy and paste from that docco to my one and have the result look anything like the PDF. I dont have the acrobat authoring program here, but I have access to a machine at school where I am able to use it if it is needed to copy it out. |

As you've found, trying to embed PDFs doesn't really work. IN essence, the
problem is that you are working the wrong way round (relative to what these programs were designed to do) -- PDF is intended as an output, not an input. On the school machine with the full version of Acrobat, open the PDF you want to embed and save it as a Word document. (Or, if it's Acrobat version 5, as RTF). Now embed THAT document in your new doc. "richms" wrote in message oups.com...

Alternatively, from the machine at school, save the PDF page as JPG or TIF.
You can select the quality of image that you want to produce. "richms" wrote in message oups.com...
