Clickable PDF anchor text dilemma ...

by Raydal
10 replies
I thought I was beyond these sought of problems but I guess
I'm not.

I use PDF995 to convert from Word to PDF and it gives the best
quality but but the anchor text are not clickable. (URLs are.)

I use OPenOffice and the anchor text are clickable but the quality is poor.

I use the plugin for Word2007, but same poor quality.

I'm looking for quality PDF AND clickable anchor text --any suggestions?

    I've always used Acrobat on my windows machines so I'm of little use for the best PDF print driver, but you could always upload your word docs into a private Scribd account, then save the document as a high quality PDF for free.

    Obviously, if you want to distribute the document anyway, it kills two birds with one stone. But Scribd defaults to private status so it's up to you whether or not the document is ever made public or not.

    Here's a test doc I uploaded to see if it would address your quality problem:

    Hope it helps in its own weird way (strange answer, huh? lol)

    When you say "quality is poor" what do you mean exactly?

    For graphics, you can set the quality in OpenOffice and see if that helps. It may also help to size graphics in PhotoShop first before importing them. This usually results in better quality.

    Yeah, what do you mean with poor quality? I use OpenOffice for pretty much everything... it's really simple, and I have no clue what you're talking about with poor quality.

      "Quality" means sharper images and clearer, cleaner fonts.

      I have both products side by side and it's not hard to see the difference.

      Thanks for the options suggested. I think I'll go download Acrobat 9.

      @LoudMac, never thought of the Scrib'd option. I do use Scrib'd.

    Hmm... okay. Never had a problem with that. Did you check your PDF settings?

      Where do you access this? the only setting I say was "postscript" or
      using normal fonts.

    Hi Ray,

    The reason your images are of a low quality in your PDF is because they are scaled in MS-Word and they are not being displayed in their original size.

    The conversion/transformation of scaled images in Word to PDF does not work very well because of the way the information is passed from the Word image processor to the PDF converter (whatever converter that is).

    This is universal for any PDF converter.

    To have excellent image quality in your PDFs you need to make sure they are not scaled in MS-Word and are being displayed in their original size.

    It's a pain if your images are too large because you first need to resize them physically before inserting them into your MS-Word document.

    I hope this helps.

    Well now I've downloaded Adobe 9 and saw quality degradation once I import
    the document into Adobe. I see that trying to use the document OUTSIDE
    of MSWORD causes the changes. To get the best quality I had to convert
    to PDF using Adobe 9 from within WORD.

    I even tried the "100%" quality option from OpenOffice and still saw the
    'bleeding' fonts and poor graphics.
