Re: Word to PDF (What is the best graphic file to use?)

[Linda Castellani <linda -at- GRIC -dot- COM>]

Leona, I struggled with this for months.  I haunted the Adobe forum asking
questions, I searched the Adobe Web site, I sent e-mail to every link I
could find in order to find out what to do about fuzzy graphics -
particularly screenshots - in Word documents converted to pdf.

Here's what I finally found out:  Word uses anti-aliasing in displaying
graphics, so that they show up sharp and clear.  Adobe Reader, Adobe
Acrobat, etc. do not.  The images in those applications are not
anti-aliased when displayed, so they are fuzzy and often unreadable - on
the screen.  However, they print perfectly.  (Just give it a try:  take a
screen shot of the Acrobat page, and print that.  From Acrobat, send the
same page directly to the printer.  Compare the two results.)
