Importing PDF's

External Since: Feb 02, 2004 Posts: 1

I made a presentation to my client of an ad campaign using Powerpoint
X. Using Quark I made the ads saved them as Hi Res pdf's and then
imported them into Office X. They looked Lo Res when viewed. The
pdf's looked very sharp when viewed in Acrobat before importing them.
Does anyone have any ideas where I went wrong?

It seems to bring in a bitmap representation of the PDF - Acrobat has various
options that let you choose whether to smooth bitmaps or not; PPT always
smooths them. That can ... well, does ... make the image look blurrier than it
might in Acrobat.

Is that what you're seeing, or is it something else?
