Word to PDF conversion

by evollusion
16 replies
Hi everyone! I'm working on a product that I'm going to be offering sometime within the next few months. I am working with several vendors for some software applications and hardware devices and they have requested advance copies of the ebook so that they can give it a once over.

I have Adobe Acrobat, as well as MS word, but when I try and convert the word document over to pdf the image quality of the graphics is significantly degraded. Has anyone experienced this before, and if so, how did you resolve it?

    Download the OpenOffice.org package and you will have the pdf generator embedded in the OOWrite program. Free, and just as good as MS Word.

    Download Primo PDF.

    Just drag your file to the Primo icon on your desktop and it creates and saves a PDF copy on your desktop.

    Simple and free.

      Apparently, most people aren't actually reading your post to find your question.:rolleyes:

      I'm not positive on the answer but I would suggest trying to change the file format of the pictures and see if that makes a difference. For example, if you're using .jpg, try converting them to .png and see if it helps.

      Good luck,
      Tina

      ADDED: Just noticed the date on the OP...lol. Pretty sad that it took almost two months for someone to read the entire post.

      If I'm not mistaken, Primo PDF does not save your affiliate links when it converts the document.

      As suggested, the best option is to Open Office.

    It's a setting in Acrobat, choose the highest image quality, and embed all fonts, on older versions it may be known as "save for print", you will end up with a bigger file, but the quality will be much better.

      If you do the conversion in OpenOffice, there is a compression setting that determines the quality of the outputted PDF. Play around with that setting and try reducing the compression so that your graphics will turn out better.

    In MS Word 2007 there is a option to convert it to PDF without using Acrobat Reader/Writer. Image quality is high if you save it as PDF from MS Word. Option is available in File menu.

    Thanks

    I downloaded PDF995 a few years back that does the job, it acts as a printer so you just click on the Print button and choose PDF995 and it gives you the option to save as a PDF file. Easy!

    If you use Microsoft office 2007 or 2010 then there have an option in the save as option called "save in PDF or XPS". It is very easy to use.

    If you do not get the option in your office document then----

    Download "SaveAsPDFandXPS" add-ons from Microsoft office add-ons support section.

    You can also try NitroPDF. It is really good for making PDF.

    I hope it will work.

    Yes I have. What I found helped a little was if you paste the picture into Paint. Then in Paint, cut around just the part of the image that you need. I think the smaller the image, the clearer the image will show in pdf. It seemed to help me a little.

    What the heck is wrong with you guys. More than half of the posts here have replies that are in no way related to what the OP is looking for. I agree that the post title is poorly worded but posters here seem to be like Google bots scanning the keywords and latent keywords.
