PDF import as "object"

[Michael Müller]

I did try to import some PDF files (maps from Freehand) into Word 2003 as
object, there was the Acrobat Reader 8 installed. But I could not accomplish
high resolutions, not on screen nor on the PostScript printer, did all look
like an EPS preview. What I am doing wrong?

I did some reading on the web and stumbled about the "Placed PDF" feature of
the Acrobat library. I was told, that most Layoutprogramms actually don't
send the embedded PDF information's to the printer, instead they convert the
PDF to EPS on the fly before streaming the information to the printer queue.
Is Word 2003 or even Word 2007 acting the same way?

Thank you

Hi Michael Müller;

You will not come across any printing problem with PDF document as most of
the printers support EPS conversion.

Important: The step 3, click the ‘Create New†Tab under the To Import PDF in
the Word document procedure is very important. Do not click “Create from
File’ tab in the Object dialog box.

To save a PDF page from a PDF document, do the following:

1. Open the PDF document in Acrobat.
2. Click the Page tab on the left side of the application.
3. Click on the page to select.
4. Right click on the selected page, and click Extract Page.
The Extract page dialog box appears.
Note: It is recommended that you save one page at a time, if you want to
embed the PDF page in the document. For example, enter 21 in the From box and
21 in the To box.
5. Click Ok.
Adobe Acrobat displays the document as a [Pages from Acrobat document].
6. On the File menu, click Save.
The Save as dialog box appears. Enter a new file name and click the Save
button. This saved file name will be used to embed in the Word document.

To Import PDF in the Word document, do the following:

1. Open the Word document - New document.
2. On the Insert menu, click Object.
The Object dialog box displays.
3. Click the Create New Tab.
4. In the Object type list, for example, select Adobe Acrobat 7.0 document.
5. Click OK.
The open dialog opens. Click to select the file on your local machine.
6. The Adobe Acrobat opens the document within the Word document.
7. On the File menu, click Exit and Return to the document – the document
that is referred here is the current opened document.
Note: If you print the document to the printer, you will not encounter any
printing problem.

Hi Challa
I tried now "Insert Object /Create New / Acrobat", but the same result, only
72 dpi printouts. Maybe I need Acrobat 7 not just the Acrobat Reader 7?

Thanks for your quick response. I will look in to this issue again. I tried
with Acrobat 7 which is installed on my system.
