Check the resolution of the graphics you have loaded. Need to be at least 150 dpi for decent printout.

Well I solved my own problem.  The Adobe Printer
(start-settings-printers-AdobePDF) was specifying letter instead of A4.
Once I fixed this the conversion worked properly.

Now I just have to figure out why the graphics in the document are more
blurry than the source.  I have turned image conversion off on the
settings and selected the high quality print output option but it hasn't
helped.

Subject: atw: Custom Size PDF Conversion

Hi All,

I need some help with converting a PowerPoint slide to PDF.  There is
only one slide, but it is a custom size 210 x 297 mm.  This prints
nicely from PowerPoint onto an A4 page.

When converting to PDF, it either resizes the slide or it crops the
slide so that it is missing parts.  I assume there is some sort of
margin setting in adobe that it is trying to adhere to - I can't find
that setting.

I have tried changing the conversion settings so that the default page
size is the same as the slide size but this hasn't fixed it.

Any suggestions?  Is it possible to convert custom size pages?  Do I
need to change my printer settings somehow?

Thanx for your help.

Deborah Cross :)
