How do you prevent Acrobat PDFMaker from rasterizing vector graphics?

I am using the "Create PDF" button (provided by the Acrobat PDFMaker in Acrobat X) to create a PDF from a Microsoft Word 2010 document.
This works fine, except that vector graphics in the Word document appear in the resulting PDF as raster graphics. (That is, when I zoom in, document text outside the graphics appears smooth, but the graphics are blocky; and text inside the graphics that should be retained as text - it's not converted to curves - is just pixels.)
The original artwork for the vector graphics is in CorelDRAW X6 (sorry, Adobe!).
I have exported the following files from the original vector drawing in CorelDRAW:
- EPS (with TIFF preview)
- Windows metafile (.wmf)
- Enhanced metafile (.emf)
I can insert any of these files into Word okay (Insert > Picture), but the resulting PDF always contains a rasterized (bitmapped) version of the vector graphic ("line art").
From memory, this didn't use to happen in my previous working environment (Acrobat 8 Pro with Word 2003, using artwork exported from CorelDRAW 12).
How do you prevent Acrobat X PDFMaker from rasterizing vector graphics? Or is Word 2010 (or CorelDRAW X6) somehow to "blame" here?

Transparency Flattening is being invoked.
From the Create PDF button, select Properties, what is your setting for Default Settings? Select High Quality Print

    This sounds like you are using Photoshop Elements, and the Photoshop Elements forum would be best at answering that.

  • How do you prevent the computer from shutting down when in sleep mode?

    How do you prevent the computer from shutting down when in sleep mode and plugged in?

    Thanks tjk.
    Those are great suggestions and got me looking in places I had not considered before. Unfortunately, the problem remains. The System Preferences did not have the shut down option activated and there are no parental controls active on the computer.
    Any other suggestions are welcome.

  • How do you prevent your phone from locking during voice calls?  Mute/unmute features?  Are there any?  Please help?

    Here is the problem - I am often on conference calls.  My company, for security reasons requires that I use the lock phone feature.  However, I will be on a call, I have muted myself, then the phone locks.  I then have to key in my password, and unmute my phone.  This prevents me from "jumping in" the conversation appropriately.  I either sound like I'm not paying attention or worse, I'm talking over someone else and seem rude.  I have tried to search for any of the following features on the iphone 5 c.
    Prevent phone from locking during phone calls
    Set a button on the phone as mute/unmute
    Find a headset that has a mute/unmute feature
    I am not the only one at my company struggling with this so I'm thinking others might be too and that there is a solution!
    Please help!
    Thank you.

    Sounds like you need to upgrade to the iPhone 5s
    The 5s has Touch ID
    You can unlock your phone with your finger instead of typing in a key code
    No swiping to unlock either, just touch the home button
    You can enrol multiple fingers as well
    Here is a video of it in action
    http://www.apple.com/iphone-5s/videos/#video-touch
    Or wait and see what iPhone 6 has to offer
    That being said, as desiel vdub posted if the phone is up to your face, the proximity sensor should turn the screen off
    And when you lower the phone turn it back on again
    Not sure about the phone locking when your on a call doesn't sound right

  • HT202663 How do you prevent the computer from dropping the network every time it goes to sleep?

    I have a problem with the network being kicked off when any Apple device is stopped and then restarted--even if it is just in sleep mode for a few minutes. My MacBook Pro and iPad do this all the time. My husband has the same problem with his iMac. We have checked the network and the internet service. We have no idea how to fix this. It did not do this until recently, so we think it must have something to do with an update to the software, but it drives us nuts! If anyone has information to fix this, we would really appreciate it!
    Thanks!

    Try the basics first:
       Change your router channel number.  Most times this works & is all you have to do.
    Disconnect & reconnect your modem.  unplug it for about 10 seconds.  Plug it back in.  Do the same for Apple’s routers.  Wait for everything to reboot.
    System Preferences>Network
    Click the Assist Me button.
    In the next window that pops up, click the Diagnostic button & do the necessary.

  • How do you prevent a clip from moving to the front when clicking on it?

    I really don't understand why, but for some reason whenever you click on a clip in Audition CS6's mutitrack editor, it automatically moves in front of all other clips on it's track. This is extremely annoying behavior if you're working on a track with more than two overlapping clips, and there doesn't seem to be any way to undo the move after it happens. Does anyone know of a way to disable this behavior? I've looked all over the place, but haven't been able to find one.

    Fair enough, but I still say having a track be brought to the top by selecting it makes no sense. It creates the potential for you to screw up the arangement of a track without realizing it, and I think the fact that Audition doesn't even allow the action to be reversed by the undo button should be considered a bug. I've never used another audio editor that behaved this way, including earlier versions of Audition. Why not just have a send to front button in the right click menu for when you actually do want to send the track to the front? Also, as opposed to only having a single "send to back" button in the right click menu, there should really be submenu that says "send behind" and then has a list of tracks you can send the current track behind if you hover over it.

  • How do you prevent a VI from finding a sub-VI in it's old location?

    We store our project on a file server P. I set the search path to
    C:\local
    P:\common
    so the project VIs will find a local copy if I'm working on it or the global copy if I'm not. However, they always look to where the sub-VI was last found, regardless of the search path (it does NOT include or ). Is there any way of turning off this behavior?

    Hi DoctorZ,
    in a VI is
    a) the relative path if on the same drive,
    b) the absolut path if on another drive,
    c) the name only if the subVI is in vi.lib, user.lib or instr.lib
    to all subVIs stored. So if your search path does not include and the subVI will always be found. The search path is only used when to load a VI that has moved from its original path or is a top level VI.
    I have no place found to turn off this behavior.
    I find this behavior is good. So we need not to maintain a list of search paths for each project since not all projects have the same directory layout. A lot of us work on more than one project within two weeks and we use often a lot of subdirs.
    Also we maintain the project in a project directory. Each dev
    eloper makes a local copy of the project. All paths are now correct and the developer can do his work. If he finished he closes LV, copies the VIs back to the project directory and can now open the project again from the project directory. And all the paths are correct again.
    It is neccessary to close LV, so it forgets all the paths which are collected from the time when it was started.

  • How do you prevent a user from using the playback bar to skip questions?

    Hi,
    I am fairly new to Captivate and I had a question regarding the quiz feature in Cap4. I have some users testing the module for me and they are able to skip questions. I have done the following: 1. Made the quiz required 2. removed the review buttons.
    Is there something I am doing wrong?
    Shal

    Hello,
    You could hide the playbar, since it is not really needed for Question slides: on entering the first question slide you assign the value 0 to the system variable cpCmndShowPlaybar, and when you want to show it again, assign the value 1.

  • After installing Snow Leopard, how do you prevent FH files from booting Fireworks?

    Even if I choose "always open as" Freehand they still open in Fireworks when I double click the file. Any idea how to fix this? Thanks!

    Do a Get Info (command I) on the file, and in the info window change the "Open with:" to FreeHand MX. That works on my iMac running 10.6.1, and it opens the file subsequently with FH. What doesn't work is the "Change All..." telling the finder to open all similar FH documents with FHMX. I guess we need to wait for a future OS update to fix that.

  • My question is Itunes related.  How do you prevent a playlist saved in Itunes from alphabetizing the song list created. I wanted to keep the original order, and somehow everything was alphabetized without requesting it.

    My question is Itunes related.  How do you prevent a playlist saved in Itunes from automatically alphabetizing the song list.   I had a specific order of songs that I wanted, and Itunes somehow automatically alphabetized them.  Is there a way to turn that feature off, and/or get them back to the original order?   I also noticed that once a playlist has been created, I cannot manually changed the order of the songs from my desktop..  Any suggestions?

    That's just the sort order. It's displaying the media alphabetically because you have clicked on the NAME column near the top of the iTunes window.
    Click on the little triangle above the column of numbers (usually on the far left side of the main iTunes window) and the media will sort in the order in which you added each item to the playlist.
    You can easily reorder songs within a playlist: Click and HOLD on the song you wish to move, then drag-and-drop it wherever you like.

    You cannot create encrypted folders in, or encrypt folders with, Disk Utility.
    You can create with Disk Utility encrypted disk images from folders. I assume that's what you mean.
    The proper way to do it is by setting the immutable bit. Read here
    <http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/immutableflags.html>
    about the immutable bits (and the trouble they sometimes create).
    The user immutable bit (uchg) is the same as the Finder lock, as described above by X423424X. It's a weak lock, with only a warning.
    The system immutable bit (schg) is more powerful. Once is set, the item cannot be deleted in Finder (even though Finder will ask for your password and may give you the impression that it can trash it; it will end with an error).
    I set it in Terminal, thus
    $ sudo chflags schg my_encrypted_disk_image
    and unset it also in Terminal
    $ sudo chflags noschg my_encrypted_disk_image
    (Note that, when you unset the system immutable bit, the change won't be reflected immediately in Finder, but the item can be trashed nevertheless.)

  • How do you stop a Task from creating a calendar invite?

    In BH v2, when you create a Task with a due date, it sends a calendar invite to your inbox.
    Q: How do you prevent the calendar invite from being sent?
    Cheers.

    RSS only works if you configure it - the assigner cannot guarantee you have subscribed to the RSS feed - Notification by your preferred method is the only satisfactory way to guarantee delivery - assuming you have not disabled all notification paths - Bcentral can do this if you are sure you will be able to see anything assigned to you by other means.
    Doing it this way opens you up to missing task assignments and meeting invitations so it is at your own risk.

  • How do I prevent iTunes 11 from syncing apps with my devices?

    I want to be able to sync music to my iPad and iPod but I do not want to store their apps on my computer. Since iCloud remembers which apps I own, this is (in my mind) unnecessary. How do I prevent iTunes 11 from syncing my apps? This did not use to be a problem because in iTuens 10 it was an option. Now it seems that it isn't.

    Well, in fact the application stopped opening automatically for no reason that is clear to me. For about 5 days after I updated the software it opened automatically when I plugged in or unplugged my phone. Then it suddenly stopped. All I did between the last automatic open and the time that it ceased was, in the options window, uncheck the "manually manage music and videos" option and then check it again without clicking "apply" and also checking "sync only checked songs and videos" and unchecking again without clicking apply.
    I can't really recall now, but I thought that I played around with those settings and no matter what, I never saw the Option for Automatically Sync when Connected in iTunes.
    I can think of no reason why this would halt the automatic opening but it has definitely stopped. Yet I still don't have the option listed in the options window to "prevent itunes from opening automatically when device is connected."
    This is all very strange to me but I can think of nothing to pursue it further.
    I can't think of any reason why it would trigger that behavior and of the other 170+ views that this discussion has received, I suppose that nobody else had anything to offer either.
    I can't think of anything else to pursue it further either and as long as it is working the way that you want it to work now, I can't think of any need to pursue it further.
