PDF inserted into a Word doc is fuzzy/poor quality. Why?
When I insert a pdf into a Word doc (the cover page, in this case), it is not
pretty. The quality looks poor and unprofessional. Any ideas on how to overcome this? Thank you. |

PDF is a graphic format - unless you insert it at 100% size there will be
artefacts due to the shrinkage. Word will cause inserted objects to shrink to the current margins. Inserting PDF files *is* poor and unprofessional. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Heather C. wrote: When I insert a pdf into a Word doc (the cover page, in this case), it is not pretty.

So you're saying that inserting a pdf into a document is not recommended.
What's the alternative? Heather "Graham Mayor" wrote: PDF is a graphic format - unless you insert it at 100% size there will be artefacts due to the shrinkage.

It depends what the objective is. If this is as suggested a cover page -
then recreate the cover page in Word. If you are inserting PDF files with a document for reference, then print the PDFs directly from Acrobat or Adobe reader and attach them. Inserted PDF files are always going to be something of a compromise. The whole point of PDF is that it is not an editable format but a stand-alone graphical representation of a document. Did you check the inserted size of the object? -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Heather C. wrote: So you're saying that inserting a pdf into a document is not recommended.

I hear you in your suggestion of recreating the cover in Word. A designer
already created a really nice looking cover sheet for me, so it would be great to use it. Obviously, he works in the Mac world and I, in Windows so it be laborious for him to send all the elements for recreation on my end (and I am not sure I could do it justice). His pdf is currently sized at 256kb. Would changing the size help the situation? Your continued help is appreciated. Heather "Graham Mayor" wrote: It depends what the objective is.
