MSWORD templates with graphics look pixelated

When converting Word templates to PDFs with both text and graphics, the text renders fine in the PDF, but the graphics look very pixelated and fuzzy and ragged.  Have tried both .doc and .docx files, and with graphics as JPG and EPS files.  Same results. 
Any ideas here?

They do print pixelated.  All content looks crisp in the word template, but any graphics still show as pixelated and ragged when PDF-ed. Smoothing is turned on.
Thanks for the tip - any other suggestions?

  • EP6.0.2 Create new workflow template with graphical editor

    Hi!
    In the EP6 Content (Administration -> Workflow Content -> Workflow Templates) you can find an iview to generate templates for ad-hoc (java-) workflows.
    After installation the button "Create New Template" is disabled.
    How can I configure the EP to create new template with graphical editor? Or should I wait till SP4 is rleased?
    Regards,
    Henric

    Hi Henric,
    We have had to develop our own way of creating templates.   This area seems to be very underdeveloped at the moment.

  • My vector graphic looks pixelated when I scale it down

    I'm using CS5 on Mac OSX 10.7.4 and the graphic looks pretty good at 100%, and prints just fine.  The design shop is trying to put it on a coffee cup though, and when they scale it down, it looks horrible.  Pixelated everywhere.  Am I doing something wrong?
    -antialiasing is on
    -resolution is 300 DPI
    -align to pixel grid is not checked.
    Here is a screen shot at 100%
    Here is a screen shot after I scale the object 70%... looks pretty bad.
    I am new to Illustrator and vector graphics so I am sure this is some  setting I don't understand.  Thanks for any help you can give!

    check my post #20 in this thread http://forums.adobe.com/message/4455955#4455955  I tried to explain what is causing this.  Nothing to worry about it won't affect the printed result.
    However this statement of yours could be a cause of concern if you are talking about the printed image.

  • Acrobat 9: Issue with Graphics Looking Distorted

    Hi all. I'm sure that the answer to this is very simple and I am doing something ridiculous ...
    I use Microsoft Publisher (2007 version) to create documents, and then convert them to PDF using Acrobat 9. Recently, I have noticed that many of the graphics elements that I use are looking distorted when viewed onscreen. They print out looking as smooth as they did in the original Publisher file, but are a lot less so onscreen. Seeing as many people read PDFs onscreen now, this is a bit of a worry.
    I have tried saving graphics as JPEGs, GIFs, PNGs and TIFFs (in PhotoShop CS5) and get the same issue each time. Also, the quality between one save and another can be extremely variable. In the example I have attached (the top section is a screen grab from the Publisher file, the bottom when convereted), once or twice when saving the rotated image looked utterly dreadful (as in completely usable). However, when I would save it again a few minutes later, without having adjusted anyting, it looked a lot better.
    In the example below, you can see our company logo and also the lines around the photograph don't look great. (The rest is just text, which always looks great.)
    Any settings I am missing ... other PDFs I have seen always look great.
    I have set the the PDF conversation to High Quality, so am not sure where I am going wrong.

  • ALL flash videos looks pixelated, win 7 or 8.1, ONLY with firefox

    Latest firefox version, latest adobe flash player.. Had cleaned cache and preferences of both Firefox and Flash Player.. two different machines with different hardwares and SOs, no luck!
    With Google Chrome all videos are ok. It's like the difference in this two images: http://www.extremetech.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/computer-chip-super-resolution-640x353.jpg
    Firefox's WEB images are GREAT but all videos looks pixelated as the left picture.. had compared the same video with Firefox and Chrome opened side-by-side.. :\

    Hardware acceleration ON of OFF didn't make any difference.. honestly I never saw anyone saying they see any difference switching it..
    Of course with a higher resolution (720 or 1080p) there's less pixelation, but with other browsers there ain't such issue..

  • Illustrator cc image looks pixelated after saving with transparent background

    as the title states; image looks pixelated after saving with transparent background...
    i created a logo in adobe illustrator cc and i wanted to saved it for web in order to be able to copy and paste the logo where ever I wanted but the image looks extremely pixelated after saving as an png, and for web. Is there a solution for this?
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thank you!!

    What DPI did you save as:
    You should always save as 300dpi, then you can always reduce  the size as needed.
    Another thing, don't copy and paste, that always causes that Problem.
    In Acrobat you should open Tools Menu click on Content Editing  the Add Image.
    Then click on image and choose Properties and place where you want and size as you desire.

  • I am having problemas with the screen. The graphics look like taken with infrarred, i am having problemas with the screen. The graphics look like taken with infrarred

    I am having problems with the screen. the graphics look like infrarred and there are stripes in the Blue screen i am using now.

    If Demo's suggestions don't help, and the iPad is out of warranty, try giving it a solid smack or two on the back with your knuckles or your palm. Hit where the Apple logo is or just above it, and be firm but not harsh.
    Something internal might be a touch loose and a good smack or two may sort things out

  • Having issues with Compressor and my footage looking pixelated..

    Compressed a wedding video through Compressor (from Final Cut Pro). When I have it in DVD Studio Pro and look at the footage, there is a minute or two where the footage looks pixelated and is almost vibrating. There is no issue when I go back and look at it in Final Cut Pro so I know it has to be due to Compressor. Anyone have this problem? Or does anyone know how this can be fixed?

    Try increasing bit rate or adding compression markers to that section.

  • Open images in the Photoshop window look pixelated, but same images in Acrobat or viewer look fine. Help in resolving? Link to screenshots.

    Some files and images I open in the Photoshop window look pixelated or choppy, but when I open in Acrobat or viewer they look fine. This just started about two weeks ago. I reset my settings, and all of the the help topics come up for blurry images/re-sizing. I have had this problem with .tiff, jpg, and pdf files.

    That black degradation in the background at the top looks like an old ATI driver bug where if for a given pixel the red channel reaches zero all three colors of the pixel would go black.  I think that was a couple of years ago we were seeing that.
    See if AMD has released newer drivers for your FirePro card.

  • Opening a client's InDesign file looks pixelated and blurry.

    I have InDesign CS4 and I'm having issues with the files that one of my clients sends to me.  The photos look poor quality, very pixelated, even if I change the settings for View > Display Performance > High Quality...Even the text fields look blurry.  I've replaced the graphics by selecting the graphic and going to File > Place, but the graphics still don't look that great.  Is this common when opening someone else's files and are there any ways to easily resolve the problem from my end?

    When I print this as a PDF (after "placing" the EPS graphics with the original)  the text and EPS-based graphics look a little better (not suberb, though), but the rasterized images still look dodgy, even though the originals included are "placed" back in the InDesign file again.  This might be adequte if the final, desired medium were a PDF, but I'm taking these graphics and putting them in Flash.
    I finally told my client that I needed PSD files instead, as this doesn't seem like it's a straight-forward fix for either her or I.  I am, however, interested in trying out anything else to find resolve in this, since this issue is likely to come up again and not only with me.
    Many thanks to all of you for trying to help me find a solution!

  • Paragraph Format for Notes, Tips & Warnings With Graphics

    I have been reading Publishing Fundamentals and it says you can create a paragraph format that uses the Frame Above Pgf & Below Pgf and Graphics Frames to create a Paragraph Style for Notes, Tips, Warnings, etc. that includes lines above and below and a graphic to the side.
    I am attaching a FrameMaker file that shows what I have been able to accomplish and also shows what I really want. To look at this file, save it and rename, dropping ".text" from the file name.
    I am using FrameMaker Version 8.0p277 (the Technical Communications Suite version). My colleagues all have FrameMaker 8 (not the Tech Comm Suite version) and I need to share my template with them.
    I appreciate any and all suggestions,
    Cheryl

    Hi, Cheryl:
    Search Google for "siliconprairie autotext" (without quotes) for an inexpensive tool, and "reficons" (without quotes) for a free tool. They both are useful for this kind of thing.

  • Output resolution looks pixelated, project looks fine + more Qs :)

    captivate 4.0.0
    hi all,
    I've just downloaded the latest captivate 4 as a trial and am starting work on a new project. Sorry if these things have been asked but I looked around and couldnt find anything.
    I'm setting up a project template with a few standard interlude screens between the videos, while looking at them in Captivate in Edit View they look fine, crisp text, images look fine etc...
    but when I preview, and output (in high quality flash 8 min) the text looks more bold, less clear slightly pixelated and image start to appear a bit fuzzy. Is there something I'm missing? my resolution for the cap videos is set at 1010x615 and I'm viewing it on dual monitors and both are looking ugly....
    any ideas?
    alos another quick Q, if I create a design template and base a project off it, then update said template, will the project update with the new stuff when I re-open it?
    I expect to be asking a lot more questions over the next week or so as im not up to scratch on captivate at all.....thanks!!!!!!!

    Hi there
    Are you playing back at the same identical size as you recorded? If not, things may not look as expected. Captivate works best if you record and play back at the same resolution.
    Cheers... Rick
