Why does jpeg quality drop when converted to a symbol

I created some nice compressed jpgs and imported them into Flash Pro CS4. When I place them on the stage and they get converted into a symbol the quality visibly drops, as apparently Flash is further compressing them. Is there any way to turn this behaviour off. They don't need any further compression.

I was creating the side by sides to publish, as you suggested, when I noticed that just by dragging the jpgs to the stage that the damage had apparently already been done ie that the bitmap on the stage looked worse than the preview (when set to about the same size).   I then began to wonder if the preview was somehow slightly softening the image and making it appear to have less atrifacts. I looked at the bitmap on the stage side by side with the jpeg in Ps and could see no difference. So it seems that the preview may look better with highly compressed images than the actual jpeg and that the problem is only apparent. Thanks for your help in bringing it to light.

    Hi braambotha,
    The most likely cause of this issue is that the PDF wasn't tagged properly to indicate the table cells, so Excel has no idea where to place the content in the converted file. Do you know how that PDF was created, and in what application?
    You may have better luck saving directly to Excel from within Acrobat. You're welcome to try Acrobat for 30 days to see if it suits your needs. For more information, see www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html.

  • Why does the quality reduce when dragging and dropping from photoshop?

    Hi there
    Basically ive got a layout in keynote and when i drag layers into keynote, they appear on the keynote layout however the quality goes all crappy....is there no way of sorting this out, or is it just how it works? when doing layouts do most people save the individual layers out as png files and then import individually into keynote and align them with the original layout? i do this currently but it is slightly time consuming.
    thanks alot in advance

  • Why does text go missing when converting to pdf?

    When I export some pages documents to pdf or print to pdf (my futile attempt to fool the program) a few lines go missing. Makes no sense to me. None of the text is image wrapped (the usual culprit in my experience) and all text minus the header is typed into a table. How can I fix this?

    I do not get the problem.
    All text stays the correct color. Black is black and white is white in the pdf.
    Are you opening this on a Mac in Preview, or are you opening it in Adobe Acrobat?
    I have opened my .pdf (it would have helped if you had posted your problem pdf) in Acrobat on a Mac and that also has opened correctly.
    I tried both exporting and printing to .pdf both work in Preview and in Acrobat.
    Are you doing something else you have not told us about?

  • Why does my email drop out when I access my group contacts list

    Why does my email drop out when I access my group contacts list

    Hi Helen
    I think (from the other forum you posted to previously) that you are asking how to send email to a group in your address book, or other group of email addresses? You will need a third party app to do this, a number of which are available from the App Store.
    Our MailShot Pro app is unique, as it can turn addressbook groups into special contacts that you can use from any Mail-compatible app on your iPad (Such as Mail, Photos, Maps etc.) as though the ability to send to groups were built into your device.
    You can find MailShot Pro here on the App Store

  • Why does m4v need to be converted again

    Hi. I converted a dvd movie I bought into the ipod format .m4v using another converting software program I have. I then imported it into the videos section of my itunes. It would not load into my ipod unless i convertd it again using the itunes conver for ipod option. Why does this need to be converted again for ipod if its already in a .m4v and is there any way i can fix this so when im originally converting my movie with my converting software I can eliminate this last step in itunes. It takes up to 5 hours to convert in itunes. thanks

    I should also add that I am using a AVS video converter which has an IPod 5.5 converting option that makes my movies Highest available quality H.264, 30fps 640x480
    There are more Ipod options availble but im using the Highest quality available one. Maybe I should be using one of these:
    ipod 5x- NTFS Standard quality H.264 29.97fps, 320X240
    ipod 5x- PAL standard quality H.264 24fps, 320X240
    ipod 5x- low quality H264., 20fps, 320X240
    ipod 5x - Best quality (MPEG4, 24fps, 320X240)
    ipod 5x- economy quality (MPEG4, 20fps, 176X144)
    ipod 5x- for tv output (MPEG4, 24fps, 512X384)

    If that's the only place you used that unique font, yes.  Convert the textbox to an image file by applying a drop shadow to the font and setting the opacity of the drop shadow to 5%.

  • Why does AVCHD have to be converted to AIC 1st?

    Couple of questions...
    Why does AVCHD have to be converted to AIC 1st? Is it because the hardware isn't up to AVCHD or something? I only have a Core 2 Duo 2GHz 4Gb RAM so is this enough?
    Won't converting from AVCHD to AIC and then to an output format (which would be best for quality once editing is complete?) decrease overall quality?
    On a side note, currently my Panasonic TZ7 does AVCHD lite 720P. I'm thinking of upgrading to a Panasonic TZ20 with AVCHD full HD 1080i. However I've heard that although 1080i is full HD its not as good as 1080p progressive. Now I'm wondering if I should buy the Sony Hx9v which has 1080p or wait till next year for a newer TZ camera which has 1080p. Is there a massive difference between 1080i and 1080p, and for that matter over my current 720p?
    Reason I'm thinking of upgrading is I'm off to Disney Florida this year for 1st time and want best I can, so was wondering if my current TZ7 would be enough or to upgrade to a TZ20 for the video
    Cheers 

    Why does AVCHD have to be converted to AIC 1st?
    Basically AVCHD doesn't record all the frames of a video as full frames (i-frames), it records a full frame every so often and the frames in between are made of information about the areas of the frame that have changed and a calculation so that a full frame can be recreated by comparing it with the previous frame (p-frames), this gets a little more complicated as they can also be compared with next frame too (b-frames).
    Since the in between frames aren't full frames they can't be edited, which is where AIC comes in. When the file is converted to AIC all the frames are recreated (as full frames) from the various types of frames in the AVCHD file, they can then be edited.
    Won't converting from AVCHD to AIC and then to an output format (which would be best for quality once editing is complete?) decrease overall quality?
    Yes and no, think of the conversion more of an expansion whereby all of the quality of the original file is maintained, hence no loss of quality. This isn't entirely true since AIC does contain compression, but the files are already large enough as AIC files to expand them to an uncompressed format would be rather ridiculous for amateur video, and the loss of quality is probably immeasurable in most cases.
    Is there a massive difference between 1080i and 1080p, and for that matter over my current 720p?
    That very much depends on what you are going to do with it, the difference between these resolutions can be noticeable if the videos are encoded at appropriate data rates, but if you are going to use a similar data rate to compress a 1080p file that you use for a 720p file then you won't achieve any additional quality, indeed you may actually lose some.

  • Why does my graphic drop out as a pdf?

    I created 4 graphics in Illustrator CS3, downloaded them onto a CD cover template and saved as an .ai file which looks fine. When I attempt to then save it as a pdf, one of the graphics drops out. Appreciate your feedback.

    When I click on Windows, 'Links' is not checked off. When I click  on
    'Links' and open the panel, all 4 graphics are listed but there are no  icons to
    the right of these file names.

  • Why does my iBookPro drop its WiFi connection so often?

    My question: why does my iBookPro drop it WiFi connection so often, and what can I do to prevent it (or at least extend the duration of active connection)?
    I have an iBookPro running OSX 10.9.5, with a 2.4 GHz Intel Core i5 processor and 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 RAM.  I think my iBookPro is about 3 or 4 years old.
    What seems to happen is that I will use my iBookPro accessing mail & websites for a few minutes, and then when I try to send an e-mail, mail puts up a message that it cannot send mail with the selected server, so I need to either try a different server or try later.  Meanwhile I notice that the WiFi signal indicator shows full service, but when I run diagnostics it shows that the internet is not connected.  Opening the WiFi icon in the top menu bar shows that it is looking for Networks.  After an indeterminate time it finds the network I have had highlighted and logged into (my WiFi -5G router) since I opened my iBook when I arrived at my office.
    I often find I have to turn WiFi off, then back on, to get connection with the internet. 
    What's going on, and what am I missing?

    Hello jBookProAm, 
    If you are having issues with your MacBook Pro with maintaining a Wi-Fi connection, then take a look at the articles below to get it sorted out. The first article will talk about using Wireless Diagnostics, which you have already done, but also you look at the additional troubleshooting within the article for assistance. You may want to also create a new location as another troubleshooting option and those steps are in the second article.

    Firefox allows to select part of a word. You can select a word with a double click and use Shift + left click to set the end of the selection, so you need to click at the end of the last word instead of in it.
