Powerpoint to pdf - images lose clarity

Why when converting from Powerpoint to pdf do the images lose clarity and sharpness?

Hi,
What is the version of PowerPoint and Acrobat you are using?
Please make sure that you have updated the Acrobat to its latest version. Go to Help -> Check for Updates.
Also, try printing the PPT to Adobe PDF printer and then check the issue.

  • 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.

  • Unable to display a PDF image on the page - Mac 10.6

    Hi,
    Running an iMac with 10.6.8 and Indesign 5.0.4. Just wanting to export a PDF as per usual via File > Export function. However, I keep getting the error message, "Unable to display a PDF image on the page'. No idea what this is and have never seen this error before. The only info on the internet reveals error code 0x2511(9489).
    I've deleted prefs, closed down and re-opened Indesign and even restarted the computer. I've also re-linked the images contained in the document and even created a new document and set it up the same, but still the same problem. Investigating further, other Indesign documents still export properly.
    The only ones that don't export are 2 documents, both giving this same error message. Both documents are ones where a client has sent a PDF, I've imported into two of these into an 2-page A4 Indesign document (each PDF is 48MB each) and then just added a text layer (using Times) which is properly installed on the computer. I basically have to 'update' course dates for the client and add PDF to the website, all very basic.
    I've tried importing a jpeg and other PDFs into the file (replacing the existing ones) and they export fine.
    All my software is legal and I've exported this document before now in exactly the same File > Export without any problems (under 10.5 and 10.6).
    OK... I've just imported the offending PDFs into Acrobat, optimized and shrunk the file size, re-imported back to Indesign and the PDF export works fine. So it seems InDesign / PDF Export doesn't like large imported PDFs? I think they were originally exported from Publisher, so maybe that's the problem or a file conflict somehow.
    Any ideas on the culprit? I've googled it, searched these forums and Apple discussions and haven't found anything. Although I've found a workaround, I do get large files to import and then export. Thanks for any help

    It does sound like a problem with the original PDF files the client sent you. You can check how they were made in Acrobat Pro from the Additional MetaData button on the Description tab of the document properties dialog. It will be under Advanced at the bottom of the list when the metadata opens.
    You might be able to salvage them by running the optimzer and not changing the size, or just doing a Save As in Acrobat.

  • How to read ZIP files(having PDFs,Image) using MQ Series link for R/3

    Hi,
    1)Is it possible to transfer a zip file (having an image or pdf) using IDocs in SAP 4.6C using MQ Series link for R/?
    Scenario: "MQ Series link for R/3" converts Business-Reports from a third-party software,into SAP IDocs.Each Business-Report contains one XML file and one ZIP file.
    2)Being on ABAP side,do I have to worry about how the zip file would be converted into IDocs?
    Detailed descrption:
    This scenario requires integration of a non-SAP software which talks in XML with SAP R/3(4.6C).The customer has decided to go with 'MQ Series link for R/3' (which integrates any non-SAP application running on IBM MQ Series to R/3,by converting data(in any format) into IDocs).He is not ready to go for XI.
    The Problem area is a functionality which requires the non-SAP software to send XML file along with an attached Zip file.So,XML document,basically,has a 'zippedFile' XML element having actual file in XML keyword 'file'.
    This XML document ideally, should be converted by the subsystem(MQSeries link for R/3) into IDocs i.e. into a stream which could be stored in a table on R/3 side and later, sent back to the non-SAP software through MQ Series link to be converted into zip-file again with corresponding pdfs,images.I want someone who has worked in a similar scenario to confirm this.

    I have a feeling I have posted this question in the wrong forum or maybe I will let you decide this.Any help would be appreciated (even the right forum name).

  • PDF images distorted in Keynote 6.0

    When I Open a presentation created in Keynote V5.3 with Keynote 6.0, some PDF images look fine in th editor but become aliased and pixellated when displayed in presentation mode. If I copy the image from Keynote, save it to the desktop and then open it in Preview I see the same distortion. Is there
    a workaround for this.
    Joseph Ayers

    Thank you so much. I didn't know that shortcut and it fixed it right away. I was surprised that when I went back to the section that all of those slide were only a small portion of the page. It's almost like the white part of the slide got bigger so the actual slide information shrunk. Obviously I hit something in my frustration that changed the slide size, but luckily it will be easy to replace. Great response to my question and much appreciated!

  • JPG or PDF image in Portfolio window

    How do you remove the JPG or PDF image from the top right of a Portfolio window?
    I'm using Acrobat X10.1.1 on an iMac with Mac OS X 10.7.2

    I created a PDF Portfolio using the Wave layout. I added a few frames with a name and description.
    I do not want to delete the image, I would like to remove the small jpg or pdf logo that appears on the picture (image) in the top right hand corner. The logo appears in both the Layout Mode and the Edit Mode. When I emailed the portfolio to myself the small logo was still in the picture.
    Thanks….

    You need Acrobat Standard or Pro to convert the scanned image to readable text (OCR) and then save it as a Excel file (if Acrobat recognizes that it's a table, which I doubt it will). Maybe there are some 3rd party plugins that can help you further.

  • How can I upload a PDF image with out it going grainy

    i am trying to write an adobe form and I need to have the names of the authors at the bottom of the page in columns, It seems impossible to do this by entering the text into the box on the form as the spacing doesn't work. I  have made a PDF image of what I want to write but each time I upload it it becomes grainy. If I save it as a PNG or TIFF it is still grainy - even if I reduce the file size to the required number of pixels - please help me!

  • OCR Exact is doing weird cut and paste to original PDF image

    Using Acrobat 7, I am scanning old typewritten documents, most on legal sized paper.  When I run “OCR exact” on them to create searchable text (hidden text) behind the original image, the original image (on top of the hidden text) changes.  Specifically, Acrobat takes part of the original PDF image and copies it at the bottom of the original PDF image.  When I have the document displayed in full screen, I can sit there and watch the image change at the bottom when the OCR completes running.  It always changes the bottom of the PDF by taking a small snapshot of part of the PDF from somewhere else in the PDF and repeating it at the bottom.  I have seen it take a chunk from the top of the document and repeat it at the bottom, and I have seen it take a chunk of the document from the middle and repeat it at the bottom.  The “repeated part” will sometimes start at the very end (not covering original text), and sometimes start an inch or two from the end (thus covering some original text).  It only seems to happen on documents that were typewritten.  Scans of documents created after the invention of word processors don’t end up having the problem I am describing.
    Anyone know what is happening and how to correct it?  Thank you.

    Hi stpippin,
    I am not sure what you are trying to do. Numbers works best with several small tables, each with a purpose. Rather than copying formulas to another part of a table, you can create another table with a new purpose.
    Table 1 contains values (typed in, pasted in, or calculated from elsewhere):
    Fruit
    Value
    Apple
    99
    Banana
    98
    Cherry
    97
    Date
    96
    Eugenia
    95
    Fig
    94
    Grape
    93
    Table 2
    Fruit
    Value
    Apple
    99
    Banana
    98
    Cherry
    97
    Date
    96
    Eugenia
    95
    Fig
    94
    Grape
    93
    A2 contains this formula (and Fill Down and Right)
    =Table 1::A2
    Select cells A2 to B8 and copy. Then paste into Table 3:
    Fruit
    Value
    Apple
    99
    Banana
    98
    Cherry
    97
    Date
    96
    Eugenia
    95
    Fig
    94
    Grape
    93
    Formula in Table 3::A2 becomes
    =Table 1::A2
    Now you have another table that duplicates Table 2. What do you want to do with it?
    Regards,
    Ian.

  • How to make single file from multiple PDF image?

    Hi, it's my first question in SCN.
    I promise my efforts for developing this site.
    Lately, I made multiple PDF image by function 'CONVERT_OTFSPOOLJOB_2_PDF'.(each spool ID)
    And I wanna make single .PDF file by merging these image in server directory(not local PC).
    So I tried it following.
    1. Each internal table resulted from CONVERT_OTFSPOOLJOB_2_PDF append one internal table.
       BL_PDF + MF_PDF → PDF
    2. Excute following command.
      OPEN DATASET P_FILE FOR OUTPUT MESSAGE LV_MSG IN BINARY MODE.
      IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
        LOOP AT PDF.
          MOVE PDF TO FIELD.
          TRANSFER FIELD TO P_FILE.
          CLEAR PDF.
        ENDLOOP.
        CLOSE DATASET P_FILE.
      ENDIF.
    But files was not merged, only last image was made as .PDF file instead.
    How can I do it?
    Thank you.

    Hi Sangrok,
    Instead of preparing PDF multiple times, you can combine all the OTF data and then finally convert it into PDF. For saving the PDF onto application server, you can refer following report.

  • Problem with manipulating PDF images in Keynote

    Hi,
    I am using LaTeXiT to insert equations (in PDF format) into Keynote. Note this is the only vector format that really works. Creating equations and dragging them onto a slide works fine, but then it is difficult to select and manipulate them on the slide.
    I have inserted other PDF images and run into the same problems, so it seems that this is a bug with Keynote. I have tried to reinstall Keynote but to no avail.
    Does anyone know how to solve this?
    Thanks!

    it is difficult to select and manipulate them on the slide.
    What exactly is the difficulty are you haveing?
    The only adjustments you can make to a PDF file placed in Keynote is to position and size the image.
    If you click on the image to select it, 8 bounding box handles will show, ( small black squares ) you can then click and drag them to resize. Click anywhere on the image to place it anywhere on the screen.

  • How to retain focus in Web forms 6i item when displaying pdf image

    How to retain focus in Web forms 6i item when displaying pdf image in a multi-record block?
    Hello.
    I have a Web Forms 6i program (version Forms 6.0.8.19.2) running in a 3-tier application. The web form program has a multi-record block containing invoices. When navigating to a record, the form should display the PDF invoice image which is stored in an Oracle 8.1.7 database as a BLOB in another window. When user press down-arrow, the next PDF invoice image should be displayed.
    I am able to accomplish the functionality above by using web.show_document('URL', target') in the when-new-record-instance. The URL being called is a PL/SQL Web Toolkit stored procedure using wpg_docload.download_file built-in.
    The problem is that the focus is lost on the Webform and the focus is shifted to the PDF image window when you navigate to the next record using down-arrow. I want to retain the focus in the form as this is a data-entry form, the operator will use down-arrow to go to the next-record rather than the mouse. I also only want to do this for this Invoice Entry form and NOT to all forms.
    Please advise how to resolve this problem. Thank you.
    Regards,
    Armando

    Magesh,
    the issue of a SSO protected form showing the logon dialog is a knwon issue for Windows200 and the Oracle9iAS base release. If you applied Forms Patch 1 then this should be solved. Hope that I am right in that you are using Oracle9iAS and not Oracle9iDS. Do you see the Single Sign-On logon screen or the Forms logon dialog directly? Check the forms90.conf file in teh forms90/server directory as this contains the Form sso settings (mod_osso) which by default is commented out and therefore inactive. You need to remove the commenting '#' characters and make sure that each sentence having a '#' in front, after that starts on a new line.
    The Forms deployment documentation within the Oracle9iAS docu provides this information too.
