Illustrator images with jagged edges when converting a document to pdf

Hi,
Illustrator CS6.
I created some images in illustrator. Saved the images as a .tff. Put the images in a Word.docx. Looks great. Convert the word.docx to a pdf and my images have jagged edges. I have anti-alaising check in my preferences but still the image looks bad.
Any suggestions?
thanks

Did you resize the images larger than when inserted into Word?
What resolution did you export the TIF from AI at?
What was the Anti-aliasing setting (type or art optimized or none)?
Are you using Word's Save As PDF, or the Adobe Acrobat add-on?
Are you viewing the result in Acrobat (or Adobe Reader) at 100% or larger?

Images have jagged edges when rotated in Keynote 6.1

After upgrading to Keynote 6.1, I'm having problems when rotating images that I've imported to my slides. Any time I rotate an image that's not on a 45, 90, 180 angle, the image has jagged edges.
Here's a screenshot as an example. The image is on 4 degree angle.
Any ideas?

Sorry, in haste I forgot to mention this also:
Use an appropriate slide size, as a minimum resolution I match the slide size (Keynote > Inspector > Setup Slide Size), to the resolution of the display I am using, in my case 1920 x 1200.
I always resize the images I bring into Keynote with the same pixel resolution as the slide size.

Acrobat 10.1.3 Word Crash when converting 2007 document to PDF.

Word 2007 Crashes with the error seen below, when using the Convert to PDF button on the Acrobat ribbon in Word. The document may have footnotes. I can convert other docuemnts to pdf in this fashion. Is there an issue converting Word Docuements to PDF if they have foot notes? I saw a post where someone had a table in a docuemnt that was causing Word to crash when it was converted to PDF in this fashion.

Hi,
I convert several Word documents having footnotes to PDF using Acrobat X and it works fine. Is it possible for you to share your Word file in which you are seeing this issue so that I can investigate? You can send me the file @ [email protected]

Problem with image location when converting word document to pdf

Hello all,
I am new to all this and this question may be already answered, but when I try to convert a word (2003-2007) document containing images (inserted photos) into a pdf document using Adober Reader 8, the images are moved from their original location and the size and ratio are changed. Is there either a process for preserving the images as they are in the word doucment or a way to fix the problem? Thanks for any help you can give.
Regards,
Rose

Really not sure what you are trying to do since you can not import images into Reader. Since Reader can not create PDFs, we are at a loss of your problem. If you mean Acrobat, then tell us exactly the steps you are using to create the and what versions of both programs Like AA8.1., WORD 2003 (possibly release also) or WORD 2007. The different versions of WORD also also interact with Acrobat differently.

Imported images have jagged edges when scaled down

Perhaps I'm missing something really obvious (like the quality thing in the After Effects timeline), but I imported a Photoshop image, a logo, scaled it down to 15%, and it has jagged edges. Ditto for a TIFF version of same. Starting resolution is plenty large.

You can adjust the apparent size of the image in the "media" tab of the property inspector. Select the photo in the media bin (not the layer in the timeline), then the media tab in the insepctor.
try reducing the size of the image to the size you are scaling it to (of course, you'll have to adjust the scale property of objects in the timeline which use that image). for example, if the image is 1000px wide, and you're scaling it 15%, then adjust the media size to 150px and restore the scale to 100%.
YMMV but it's worked well for me. sometimes adding a slight gaussian blur helps (<.25). it would be more effective to scale in an image editing app (like photoshop) to the desired size, but this is more flexible.

Problems with some photos when converting Publisher files to PDF using Acrobat 9

I tried to make a pdf of a publisher document that has a number of photographs. Two of the photographs appear grey with streaks -looks like some of the colours are not converting properly. The same document works fine with Acrobat 8 but not with version 9. Anybody have this experience?

Graffit's suggestion did not work for me.
I work for the Ontario government, and we are still using Office 2003. I am not sure what version of 9 we are using as we get bulk licences to use the program. I only got the program in August 2010. I used the default settings in the program.
I try to open the publisher document in Adobe. I have also tried opening the publisher document, then converting it to the PDF. Both have two of the photos that don't convert properly. The other photos are fine.
The two photos in question were given to us by the Communications department. I don't have the originals. The photos were copied from other document. I don't know what the format of the orginal photos were. The person in Communications has not responded to my request yet.

When converting a document to PDF, it won't convert my landscape format !

In Microsoft, when I convert a document that's in landscape format to a PDF, it converts in portrait format. In the PDF I open print, select orientation and/or page setup, change the format but all the text does'nt change back to landscape. How do I get my original format when converting to a PDF ?

This isn't the proper forum for that. This is for the free Reader application which does not convert files to PDF.
Depending on what you actually use to convert to PDF, you may need a Microsoft forum or the Adobe Acrobat forum.

Images are messed up when converting pages document to .doc

Hello,
I am trying to convert my .pages document to a Word .doc file but when I open it back up the background images are missing most of their color. They are extremely distorted. I took off the option Objects Causes Wrap and removed my margins so I could prevent my content from spilling onto a new page thus creating a new page that I could not delete.
Please help!
Thank you in advance,
V

The conversion isn't perfect between Pages and Word. The same font is handle differently in the two applications and so are many other things too. If you are concerned about how it looks use Pdf versions instead.

Problem with ChemDraw structures when converting word doc to pdf

I am trying to convert a word document with ChemDraw structures in it to a pdf. When it converts, I doesn't hold the chemical structures together. Is there a quick solution?

I realize that many word processors have an option to turn off the printer metric use. I finally found it in OFFICE 2007 and it is indeed off. It is not off in OFFICE 2003. Though it is available to folks, it is far from an obvious option in WORD. In the word processor I use it is NOT an option and there is actually a warning in the help about the printer metrics. The fact that there may be a switch in a package is not a given and the information I provide is not incorrect, though adding a comment about a switch option is reasonable.
Yes it's on in prior versions that wasn't ny uncertainity. I wasn't positive it was off in Office 2007. Why do you make a strawman argument over something that isn't the point of contention ? <sigh>
You were incorrect. Printer Metrics is the only answer because it's a global switch. You're not helping by telling people to use a solution that's not permanent. It's a clumsy hack.

Why doesn't adobe PDF pack convert font jester when converting pub documents to pdf documents?

Why won't adobe PDF pack convert font JESTER from a pub to a pdf file? It converts the JESTER headings to font ARIAL instead. When I was using windows XP and Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional the conversion came across as JESTER like I wanted.

Why are my Illustrator images getting thicker strokes when I take the bounding box and make them smaller?

Why are my Illustrator images getting thicker strokes when I take the bounding box and make them smaller? This has never happened to me. I'm not an expert at Illustrator, but I do know some fundamentals.

Thank you for responding so quickly. No apologies necessary - I know this Forum isn't McDonalds - don't expect an answer to be served up right away. You helped me out with a big issue yesterday.
I am using a mac - OSX 10.7.5
I have Adobe Creative Suites - CS5 - Illustrator version is 15.0.2
The contents I am placing are all Vector - Illustrator files
But, I wonder about some of the vector files I work with. Could a "line weight/thickness" be 'assigned' to the drawing and screw things up? I used 'simple' linear (line) drawings from SolidWorks that have been converted to ai files. It's just weird because I checked the stroke of the drawing and it's not out of line.
I am attaching part of some box labels. You can see how the drawings, of the products, on the 'left side' are "thick" after embedding them. I think the "Global Logo" was pasted into a template not linked that's why it's okay. But look at the Quiet Thunder logo - it looks terrible. These labels are only 2.25" X 6.5", so its important I keep the images lightweight.
Your help is very much appreciated. Thank you!

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.

Hello, I have includes a Web link in an image. When I convert the document in PDF, the link remains inactive. Could use me? Thank you.

Thank you.

No version of Pages will allow images to be links. We always got around this by bracketting the image with text and making the link in that.
Pages 5 has lost the ability to have cross links in pdfs and seems to have a bug that disables any links after the first page.

Jagged Edges - When compressing 50 minute clip - burned in DVDSP

I'm in the process of authoring four DVD's (mixed martial arts, muy thai etc) which was shot in HD on a Panasonic HVX-200 using the DVCPro HD codec, at 24 fps progressive.
2 of the four DVD's I'm having problems with jagged edges around the two fighters (two guys shot against a white backdrop), you can clearly see blocky artifacting around the edges of them.
I've tried exporting via compressor using a 1-pass VBR 6.2 Mbps min - 7.7 Mpbs max, imported into DVDSP, build the project, and then when I use the DVD player program, I can see the artifacting.
However, I have a couple of other clips on the DVD, that were exported the exact same way, and no artifacting is evident.
I tried re-encoding at a CBR of 7.7 Mpbs, no change. Any ideas?
One thing that I just thought of is that I have been using the same source folder when building the project as the previous versions (to save time rebuilding all the motion menus, etc). Could that be a reason? Would DVDSP be using some of the information from the older encoded video?
Any thoughts please.

Make sure that you are encoding for 24p. Set the video format for 720p, and the frame rate for 23.98. You should also be using 2-pass VBR, not 1-pass.

Hi Srikanth,
I think I'm facing the same issue as you. I looked at the note 323736 but my system seems to be up to date (at least for this issue). I have SAP_BASIS release 700.
Did you upgrade your system ? Did you do something else ?
Thanks for your help.
