Multiple images are blocky when converting from powerpoint to PDF?

Heres my problem:
If I have a powerpoint with ONE image (be it jpeg, gif, png, etc) they apper fine when you convert the document to PDF (via print>Print to PDF or by using the Acorbat plug in in Powerpoint).
BUT
If I have 2 or more images in a powerpoint slide, the images appear blocky and sections of the images are missing. I tried to ungroup the photos and group the photos yet I get the same result. Anyone know how to correct this??
The images were originally created in Adobe Illustrator. There must be a setting in Illustrator or Powerpoint that is causing this problem but I cant figure it out.
Thanks

Correction, it appears to be a problem with the CROP button in Powerpoint. I have a PNG file and it has two images (a map and a legend) on one png. When I crop it to only show ONE image (either the map or the legend) it makes it become blocky. So weird.

Hypertext links are not always preserved from Word to PDF, using Aperçu or Adobe, depending on OS 10 or Lion. Why? This generally works perfectly in Windows. Why are Apple and Adobe unable to correctly handle links when converting from Word to PDF?

Hypertext links are not always preserved from Word to PDF, using Aperçu or Adobe, depending on OS 10 or Lion. Why? This generally works perfectly in Windows. Why are Apple and Adobe unable to correctly handle links when converting from Word to PDF?
Depending on the system version, and Office Word version:
- a pure URL link starting with http or even www sometimes works in PDF, either produced by Aperçu or Adobe, sometimes does not work;
- other kind of links where the text under display is not a URL, never work!
I like everything with Apple computers and software, except PDF generation. Output files are usually bigger in size, and no better quality, than under Windows. Furthermore, it is weird that something as common as hyperlinks does not work correctly!
I related this question with Mac OS X Snow Leopard, but the problem is still there with Mac OS Lion.
This problem seems to have been around for years, without any proper solution from Apple and/or Adobe! To me, this is very embarrassing!

Greetings NoNameGiven,
If I understand the problem correctly (I’m not sure I do) you would prefer ‘iii’ to be read as “eye eye eye” rather than “three”? The alt text property is the only way that I know of to make this happen. Hope this helps.

Image loses resolution when converting from pages to jpg

I created an ad for my son's yearbook in Pages. It is 9MB but I need to submit as jpg. The only way I can figure to do that is to convert from Pages to PDF and from PDF to JPEG. However when I do this, it shrinks from 9MB to just over 1MB which is too low rez. Can anyone help? I'm on a deadline. Thanks!!!

OSX outputs pdfs at 72dpi if there is any transparency such as shadows, reflections, charts and of course directly specified transparency.
The jpeg is generated from a pdf and is the wrong method of producing an ad, which should remain text/vector to stay sharp, with photographic style images at 300dpi.
jpegs should only be used for purely photographic material because it makes everything else fuzzy.
Your ad should be supplied as a vector pdf. If it has photographic material do not use transparency effects and make sure the images are at least 300dpi at final size.

Chart Features get Distorted when converting a Powerpoint to PDF

When converting a powerpoint file to PDF using Adobe createPDF online, chart titles and axis that were properly formatted in powerpoint get distorted when the file is converted to pdf. Specifically, the chart titles get moved over / cut off and scales on the axis disappear. The charts, however, are pictures, and were not created in a microsoft program. Any idea why this is happening or how to fix it?
Thanks

That an image of a chart was exported is indicative of the "chart" object in the PDF being an image.
And, that is consistent with what must times, for most PPT "chart" input is -- graphic objects -- which, when sent out to PDF don't change from that (how would they eh?).
Result - an image / graphic object in the PDF.
To get the 'dynamic' chart that updates in Powerpoint when the data for the chart is changed you'd re-master in an appropriate application and OLE it into the Powerpoint file.
But that's the good stuff of Microsoft and discussed over in MS web space.
Be well...

Multiple images in pscs5 when importing from bridge

Hi Guys
Hope someone can throw some light on my problem?
When I bring an image from bridge into photoshop CS5 the image sometimes (more than I would like) breaks up into multiple images in the same window. (see attached example). It was suggested that my video driver may need updating but on checking I have the latest drivers!
This problem has only been happening for about a month and everthing was working fine before that. Im running win7pro 64 bit and am running photoshop from my ssd drive. The display driver is a Nvidia Geforce 240 which again has been fine previously. Would it be worth unistalling/reinstalling the program, just a thought!
Any help from you guys would be more than welcome.
Thanks trev

Chris and Noel
Thank you both for your advice. Chris I tried the update driver from Nvidias web site and it also said that my driver was uptodate 'do you want install anyway' which i did! It made a slight difference but still the problem showed up, so I disabled the Open gl drawing box in preferences menu and then reset it changing the advanced setting to normal in the advanced menu. This seemed (not holding my breath) to have done the trick! and Noel I saw the option for what you have said but I didnt have the confidence to go manual, that'll be my plan B.
Thanks again guys, I'll be back for more advice

Images moved/cropped when converting CS3 file to PDF

Hi,
I was hoping someone would be able to help me out. When converting a flyer I have in CS3 to PDF for distribution two of the four pictures on the page move/crop themselves.
One moves into the upper left hand of where it is supposed to be and only shows 1/4 of the picture, the other gets the right half of it cut off.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

It is when I try to export to PDF, sorry about the confusion.
The pictures are only moved in the PDF file, they continue to look like they are supposed to in the ID file.
I'm not sure if this helps but when I saved it as an INX file the two pictures that behave as they're supposed when exporting to PDF turned into grey boxes and those that became cropped when converting to PDF were still visible. When I then saved that to a PDF the pictures once again cropped and moved themselves, and the grey boxes remained.
I'm not sure if perhaps some of the pictures were placed in the ID document incorrectly, I didn't make the file and was only given it to try and fix the problem. However as you can see I have very little InDesign knowledge.

Increased file size when converted from .docx to .pdf

Hello everyone,
I have been having problems with Adobe: I need to convert a large amount of Word documents (.docx) to Adobe files (.pdf). I need to keep the size of these documents small as there are limits designated to my project. I have converted a file of 27kb recently and it turned out as 207kb pdf file. When I save this, I select "Minimum Size" when saving in the "Optimize for" area. As far as I know, when converted, .pdf files should be smaller than the original files. Please help me on this
I am using Microsoft Office 2013 and Adobe Reader XI (11.0.06)

Not wrong. Different.
As it seems you are converting by saving as in Word, rather than using Adobe software. If you own Acrobat Pro, you can both use it to make the PDF (several different ways, many settings) and analyse the space usage.

Why do colours change when converting from Word to PDF

I am converting word files to pdf, however the header and footer background colours change once converted. How can I stop this happening?

Depends on how you are creating the PDF. If you are using PDF Maker (the create PDF button), then check the preferences in that menu. There is an entry for the settings file selected. If you are printing to the Adobe PDF printer, the settings file is listed under the settings tab of the properties menu.

Reduced in resolution when converting from Visio to PDF in Visio 2013

I have a .NET application that converts Visio files to PDF using the Document.ExportAsFixedFormat method. This works fine in Visio 2010. However, upon upgrading to Visio 2013, the exact same code is producing PDF with much lower resolution that is unsuitable
for print. I am not sure what is wrong. Is there something I can do to export high resolution PDF with Visio 2013? Thanks!
The following is my code:
_app.ActiveDocument.ExportAsFixedFormat(VisFixedFormatTypes.visFixedFormatPDF, // Format
pdfpath, // Output path
VisDocExIntent.visDocExIntentPrint, // Output quality
VisPrintOutRange.visPrintFromTo, // Range
1, // Start page
-1, // End page
false, // Color as black
true, // Include background
false, // Include document properties
false, // Indicate tag structure
true, // Use ISO 19005-1 (PDF/A).
System.Reflection.Missing.Value // FixedFormatExtClass

Hi Eugene
I am using visFixedFormatPDF, visDocExIntentPrint, and visPrintAll, but there is no improvement in the resolution of the PDF.
The Type.Missing value can only be used for the last parameter. The other parameters require either bool or int, so I get compile errors if I try to use Type.Missing.
I also notice the reduction of resolution in Visio 2013 only applies to bitmap images copied into the Visio file. Lines and shapes drawn in Visio still looks fine. I am getting this problem even if I simply select the Save As menu option and select PDF,
so this problem could be independent of office.interop.
Is there something I can do to avoid the degradation of resolution of bitmaps in Visio 2013? Everything is fine in Visio 2010.

Border on JPEG when converted from doc to PDF

When I convert a document to PDF some of the jpegs have a border on the left side and across the top. It has been happening for awhile, I have updated to the current reader 10.3, I am using Win 7 and Office 2007. I am able to create a pdf without the borders on another computer that is using XP and Office 2007.

Looks like a issue of Office 2007.

Images not appearing on slide when converted from Powerpoint to Keynote

My Pastor's Powerpoint slides converted nicely to Keynote except 2 pictures at the top of one slide. He saved just that slide as a separate ppt file and I could see the images in the thumbnail, but they're gone when it's opened in Keynote. I'm thinking a layering problem, but I'm new to iMac and Keynote. Any suggestions?

Hi Lilybiri,
I have (again) requested my IT dept to take a look at what is going on.
If they cannt/wont help, then I may well take up Rick's very kind offer.
The more I think about it, the more I believe my problem(s) stem from having to link up to Adobe when working on-line.
It takes about 30 seconds from the time I open the initial Captivate start screen (attached) before any of the links become active.
That strikes me as way too long and might be the cause of the problem.
Any idea if this "link to Adobe" can to turned off? What do I need the link for anyway...day to day?

Why DNG files are bigger when converting from TIFF?

When I shoot in RAW, my normal workflow is to convert all images to DNG and start editing in Lightroom. But as you know, there are some photos that need extra editing in pixel based software such as Photoshop.
When I right-click a DNG in Lightroom and chose "Edit In... » Edit in Adobe Photoshop", the photo will be opened in Photoshop as an 8-bit TIFF file for editing. For demonstration of my issue, let's assume I don't do any changes and just save the file as it is. A new TIFF file will be created next to the source DNG with "-Edit" in it's name.
Back into Lightroom, both files are almost the same, one is DNG, the other in 8-bit TIFF. From this point (assuming I did change something in Photoshop, otherwise what would be the point in opening it there) I should do my further editing in Lightroom in the TIFF and not the DNG one. Let's say I'm done with the work and export the final edited TIFF file back into a DNG (I like this format and I like to keep all metadata changes so I can easily revert back to the original). I've also exported the original DNG file for comparison.
And now I realize the following:
DNG to DNG » ~7Mb (basically the same as the original DNG)
TIFF to DNG » ~15Mb
Why such a big difference?
I didn't do any editing either in the original DNG or the Photoshop converted TIFF. Any techincal reason for this that I'm not aware or am I doing something wrong?

I did a little bit of research and:
1) The embedded previews are always JPEG files (medim or full size, doesn't matter). But now that I think about it, I don't think you were talking about the previews when you mentioned the TIFF being embedded.
2) I did a quick EXIF lookup on 3 files exported to DNG: a) Original DNG b) 16-bit TIFF converted to DNG c) 8-bit converted to DNG. Here's the EXIF results:
a)
SubfileType                     : Full-resolution Image
ImageWidth                      : 3736
ImageHeight                     : 2772
BitsPerSample                   : 16
Compression                     : JPEG
PhotometricInterpretation       : Color Filter Array
SamplesPerPixel                 : 1
b)
SubfileType                     : Full-resolution Image
ImageWidth                      : 3648
ImageHeight                     : 2736
BitsPerSample                   : 16 16 16
Compression                     : JPEG
PhotometricInterpretation       : Linear Raw
SamplesPerPixel                 : 3
c)
SubfileType                     : Full-resolution Image
ImageWidth                      : 3648
ImageHeight                     : 2736
BitsPerSample                   : 8 8 8
Compression                     : JPEG
PhotometricInterpretation       : Linear Raw
SamplesPerPixel                 : 3
This probably means something like you said... The embedded files are different and some take more space than the others. The first one is 7.220Kb, the second one (16-bit TIFF) is 44.030Kb and the third one (8-bit TIFF) is 15.284Kb.
It makes sense I guess, but I still would love to hear a more technical explanation for it but it's obvious it has something to do on how the pixels are saved in the DNG file. The keyword is probably the PhotometricInterpretation.
