PDF Transparent logo from MS Word

I have a client whom we have designed a logo for. They want
to import this logo into MS Word as an image with a transparent
background and then use it in various documents, exporting from
word as PDF documents. We have supplied the logo in a number of
formats (PNG/JPEG etc) and sizes and keep getting the same problem.
Whenever you export from Word the PDF version of the logo looks
jagged on screen (antialiased?) and yet if you zoom in/print out it
looks fine. Obviously we need to try and sort out what the issue
is, be it with MS Word or the PDF extension the client is using to
distill the PDF. We have supplied the files to MS, but they say
it's an issue with the Adobe plug in. Do you have any technical
advice or ideas of what we/our client can do to solve this
please?

Hi Murraygrosssmith,
AcrobatOps suggestion is proper. Jpeg's don't support
transparency, but GIFs and PNGs do quite well for web based needs.
The jagginess that you're seeing on screen could be related
to a zoom level while viewing the image on screen.
To eliminate most jagginess while viewing an image at various
zoom levels, be sure to stick to multiples of 5.
25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% are great zoom levels that typically
preserve the images' smoothness, whereas say a 66.7 zoom level will
probably introduce some jagginess when displayed.
Hope this helps,
cheers,
Pete

  • How do I make the images look clear in PDF when converted from MS Word?

    Hi
    When I convert an MS Word-2010 file (which  contains  images also) to PDF through Acrobat X Pro, some images which are of bigger size do  not look very clear. Is there any workaround for this problem? Please  reply. It's quite urgent.
    Thanks

    In my experience (not necessarily the best), I find it best to rescale image copies with a graphics package before importing into WORD or whatever. Resize and then set the resolution to about 600 dpi before you import. The issue of using the clipboard appears to be an issue with WORD 2007 and such. I clipped a 300 dpi image into my technical word processor and then back to a graphic editor and all was preserved. I did the same with WORD 2007 and everything got messed up and the resultant image looked terrible. In fact, in WORD I got the same result if I imported the picture or clipped it from my graphics package. So it appears there are some strange issues with WORD itself.
    I am not trying to make any claims here, but just making an observation. The original image was at 300dpi. WORD also changed the 8-bit B&W photo to a 24-bit photo and reduced the number of pixels from 774 per width to 252 per width about a factor of 3 reduction in pixel resolution when clipped. When I expanded the image size in WORD, then the clip size increased also. When I do the same expansion of the image size in my word processor and then clip back to IrfanView, the original image is retained. My only conclusion is that OFFICE 2007 plays around with graphics and it does not seem to make any difference if you clip the image into WORD or import it, WORD still messes around with it. My guess this is just a general MS thing.
    Some folks a year or 2 ago got me to looking at nice sunsets in PPT. There were all sorts of issues with creating the PDF (AA8) from the PPT to get a reasonable result. The image obtained from the MS converter seemed to keep the picture nice. The images obtained from PDF Maker and printing to the Adobe PDF printer gave slightly different results and tended to break the image into smaller parts that often left little lines in the picture if you zoomed in. Folks were blaming this on Acrobat and yet using the same version of Acrobat with OFFICE 2003 the sunset came out great.
    This post is a bit jumbled, but the jist is that a lot of the graphics issues with WORD files seem to go back to WORD itself  and possibly with hooks MS put into OFFICE (OK, no proof on that and probably impossible to prove) to mess up Acrobat conversions. It would be interesting to see if the same result for the PDF is obtained from other converters, or if it is just something that OFFICE 2007 does "nicely" for Acrobat.
    Sorry for going off the deep end, but I just have a major annoyance with OFFICE starting with 2007, particularly for things like this. They couldn't get equations right either, just one more thing that they messed up. As far as I am concerned, a lot of the issues stem from MS and not Acrobat.
    Just for the heck of it, I ran the PPT picture through Open Office and used both the PDF export and the print to the Adobe PDF printer. Both retained the full image. However, when clipping from OOP to Irfanview, the resolution was 96dpi. The result seemed to be dependent on the zoom. So there are definitely some issues with copy and paste, at least with how some packages handle it.

  • Why are url and email addresses not fully viewable in a PDF when generated from a Word file?

    I have a question?
    A colleague in our Copenhagen office wanted to generate a pdf from a Word file.  She is working on a Windows 2007 operating system and is running Acrobat Pro 9.  When she generated the PDF only part of a url and an email address was visible when the PDF was viewed.  She was wofking from Standard settings.  I am running the same software on the same Windows platform and using the same computer equipment with the same settings yet I was able to generate a PDF where the full url and email address was visible.
    Can anyone out in Adobe Acrobat land provide me with an answer?
    Patrick Lennon

    That's probably because the Mac people are opening or viewing the PDFs within the Mac's "Mail" program or with the "Preview" program and not with Acrobat.
    Since the Windows people aren't using these programs and most likely just Acrobat or Adobe Reader, the layers are kept hidden.
    I'm afraid the only way to truly keep those layers hidden is to delete them before saving your file as a PDF. (Of course, do a "Save As" and keep your original .ai file intact.

  • I can't create pdf/x-1a from my word doc with acrobat x?

    I just bought acrobat x to convert a book to pdf from Word and I can't get it to print.  All my setting work until I select pdf/x-1a(acrobat 5 compatable).  I previously was using a trial version of acrobat XI and I could swear that the conversion was just fine with XI.  Maybe I'm not remembering right.  I have adobe reader 9, but I don't think this is relevant?
    Is the asnwer simply that pdf/x-1a cannot be converted fom word?
    Thanks for any help.

    You say the setting does not work. What happens?

  • Making pdfs in CS3 from Microsoft Word X w/ Snow Leopard

    I just installed Snow Leopard on my Mac Pro Dual-Core Intel Xeon computer. Before installing, I effortlessly printed pdfs from Word (Microsoft Office X), but now, although I get the correct dialog boxes, and can go through the process, an icon of the pdf appears on my desktop for a split second, then disappears - the pdf is not made.
    Would upgrading to Microsoft Office 2011 fix this problem?

    Thanks, Larry,
    Yes, it helped, although it led to a rather depressing series of reviews about Acrobat's newer products. I am downloading a free trial of Acrobat X Pro now to see that helps before I go buying anything.
    What ever happened to the concept of developers making things better, not worse?! Or was that just a dream I had?

  • Www and http not displaying in pdf files converted from MS Word

    When I convert a Word document to pdf using Acrobat Pro 9.0, the website addresses do not display correctly. For instance, if my document shows www.website.com - then the pdf only displays .website.com. Also, if I have the http://www.website.com - I get ://www.website.com. Please HELP! I remember having this problem when I used the trial version of Acrobat 9.0, but stumbled upon the solution. I can't figure it out this time.

    You'll want to ask your question in the Acrobat forum rather than here in the Reader forum.

  • How to remove PDF Maker toolbars from Office/Word/Outlook ??

    Cannot find a solution for this anywhere:
    Using:
    - CS 3 Design Suite with Acrobat installed (going to Control Panel > Add/Remove/Change CS3, no options available for Acrobat, only install/re-install)
    - Office 2003.
    The annoying toolbar appears in Outlook and Word, tried registry hacks, 'Templates & Add-ins' (no option to uncheck PDF Maker).
    Can't get rid of it.
    Any help?

    You go back to the repair and remove the PDF Maker option in the install. Basically to not get that option on install, you would have done a custom install and disabled PDF Maker. Unless you are really super annoyed, I would suggest you just leave them there as it is likely that in the future you will want them to be able to transfer links, bookmarks, and such (it is needed for that functionality).

  • Distilling transparent colors from Word

    I have a color transparency in a Word document that renders in a dithered fashion when I create the corresponding PDF document. I have tried the various pre-defined settings (standard, high quality, and press quality) as well as disabling compression and all yield the same dithered result (Acrobat 9.2.0). Below is an example.
    The original image is on the left and the resulting PDF is on the right. Note that i can generate transparent colors from Illustrator using any of the redefined settings. Can anyone offer any suggestions? I assume it's an Acrobat print setting issue and i've tried a number of different setting compinations to no avail. Thanks

    Thanks for replying. I've tried using PDF Maker, but it consistently hangs during the process on any file that I've tried it on. (this is a new installation of Acrobat 9 Pro.) I've tried repairing with the installation disk, but I get the same result. So it looks like I need to resolve that problem first.

  • Creating TOC Bookmarks in a PDF created from Microsoft Word

    Does anyone know how to modify PDF creation settings so that bookmarks are automatically set from the Table of Contents in the PDF version of a Microsoft Word document? This is possible in Windows using word and Acrobat Pro. But it's not automatic in the OSX-resident PDF creator and I can't find any way to modify preferences. I'm using Word 2004 (11.3.5) for Mac. Thanks!
    iMac 21" Intel   Mac OS X (10.4.10)  

    I am using Acrobat XI Pro on PC.
    Of course, I have done all the steps you mention,  but I wanted someone to confirm me if these setting values are correct in order to obtain the best results. I repeat the paragraph of my previous discussion that I want to clarify, just in case some of you can help me, mainly about optimization
    I digitalized the document from the scanner. This scanner is installed in the net, so I personalized the settings in Acrobat and I chose memory mode instead of native mode.
    Mode color: black on white
    Resolution: 600 ppp
    As you say in your mail, I understand I should choose ClearScan OCR not searchable just at this moment.
    Well, and what about the options of optimization?, JBIG2 (without lost)?, 4 CCITT?
    And filters?, I have: activated, low, activated, medium
    Are these values congruous or compatible?
    Thank you

  • PDF From MS Word 2010 Reported Bug Still Exists

    I need to create a PDF file today that contains images in a MS Word 2010 document.  There is a bug in Acrobat XI Professional  that I reported months ago.  This bug is still here, and now I need help.  Can anyone tell me what I can do to fix this issue?
    Here is what happens, and I just reproduced this problem I found awhile back.  As I stated, I did report it, but this issue is still here!
    I am creating a user guide for software.  I insert BMP images that are screen shots.  On any page where a BMP image exists within Word, the resulting PDF document does not allow selecting of text in Acrobat Reader XI.  The selection goes totally insane and highlights random text through the entire page.  This is a software defect for certain.
    My question is can I easily fix this with minimal time?  I had to fix this last time by removing all images from MS Word and instead pasting the image in Acrobat XI.  When I do this, selecting text works.  The problem with this bug work-around is that this take lots of time (that I do not have).
    Help please???

    I found something even better.  There is a non Adobe PDF creator on my office computer that correctly creates a PDF.   The issue is within PDF creation, because I am using Acrobat Reader XI and selecting text with no problem at all.
    I did not have to change a thing other than not use Adobe Acrobat Professional to create the PDF.  The software that works correctly where Adobe's own fails is called PDF Xchange Driver by Tracker Software Products LTD.
    ...and as I already stated, I reported this issue many months ago...

  • I am trying to create a print ready PDF from a word file with unacceptable results.

    I am trying to create a print ready PDF from a word file with unacceptable results.
    The word file has a trim size of 6” x 9”. It has been set to mirror margins with the inner, top and bottom margins set to 0.75”, the outer margin is set to 0.5” and the gutter to 0.14”.
    It doesn’t matter if I create the PDF from inside Word, or open Acrobat Pro 11.0.9 and click Create From File, while the resulting document size is correct and the odd numbered pages reflect the correct margins, the even numbered pages do not. This results in some text near the outer margin, as well as the page numbers being omitted.
    Does anyone know how to correct this?
    I just noticed that some of the odd numbered pages' text is also cropped. Apparently Acrobat is refusing to set side margins to smaller than 1" (@ 3cm).

    I'm away from my printer, so I'll try it later. Even so, the proposed test is irrelevant. I operate a small publishing house and am trying to upload certain novels to Ingram, the largest book distributor in the world. The specifications I've set are the specifications they've asked for. Since they've said that the results I'm obtaining are unacceptable, and since they demand submission in PDF form, this renders Acrobat Pro for Mac completely unacceptable for anyone in the publication industry. As far as I can tell, Adobe has a serious bug here that it needs to fix—and at once.

  • Some pictures are removed while creating pdf from MS word

    Hi
    I have some problems with creating PDF from MS word 2007 file.
    I'm using Acrobat X pro and MS office 2007. My system is windows XP Pro SP3.
    I'm making some documents including many tables and figures. They're created and modified in MS word and when I publish them, I have to convert them in PDF files.
    At first, the body of the document and figures are separated. I converted them individually and insert the figure pdf files to the body pdf files.
    One day, my boss wanted to combine the seperated word file into one file and I did it. There was no problem before I created PDF file.
    There are sample of the PDF.
    This is a part of missing picture. After conversion, another parts are unseen and I can find only this part.
    Sorry that I can't reveal all parts of picture.
    As you see up there, a little part of whole pictures are found (but they are reversed) and another pictures are just missing.
    Any help will be appreciated. Thank you.

    I don't know about the PC version but in the Mac version if you don't have drawing objects checked in Print and
    in the view menus, when you print to PDF, the images won't be there.
    I would assume there are the same settings in PC even if you Print to PDF printer or what other method available to PC.
