I just tried it out on a PDF and it worked pretty well. This is what I did:
Essentially what I did was took the PDF, copied out only the part I wanted,
and when I got it into DS, converted it directly to embroidery without
turning it first into a vector.
I have a program called SnagIt. Awsome little program that I use all the
time! I selected the word Melco out of a PDF file using Snagit (
www.snagit.com ). SnagIt puts it in its own program where I copied it to
the clipboard. I then brought up DS Pro+ and Ctrl V and there was my
graphic! And it wasn't very jagged at all. Then I used "Convert Graphic"
to get it directly into embroidery. It worked fairly well, but this method
is never going to be perfect - not unless you start out with a vector. And
changeing any raster graphic to vector is a very chancy business and never
really good. So you are always going to have to tweak some or a lot.
But using SnagIt does work well enough. When I cntl V to paste the graphic
into DS, it comes fairly small. Depending on how big you want it, the
graphic will get worse and worse. So, practically speaking, you can't
enlarge to graphic too much.
If you want, send my the pdf file ( julid at hawaii dot rr dot com ) and
I will use Snagit to grab the graphic and send it to you. Then you can play
with it yourself.
