I know .jpg comes out fuzzy in PDF.
I use .bmp, or .gif if size is an issue.
Try snapping several formats onto one Word page - then PDF the page
using the built-in settings in Adobe.
...see which format works best.....

Subject: atw: SnagIt graphics via Word to PDF
Dear all
I have been cruising the archives for some resolution on this subject
and have retreated in terror. There's lots of information and seemingly
no 'monkey see, monkey do' solutions. I could spend hours reading the
dummies guide to graphics and testing every possible combination and
permutation, but I am sure someone must have already resolved this
problem.
If there is already a solution for dummies in the archives somewhere,
perhaps someone could just direct me to the link?
So here goes.
1 I am using SnagIt to capture images. Some I am leaving as
coloured
and some I am converting to inverted greyscale.
2 I am inserting them into a table in Word as links which means
they
scale automatically to the table cell size. They look perfect and print
perfectly in Word.
3 I am converting the Word documents to PDF which has to be both
viewed on-line and printed.
What could be simpler? But they are now a fuzzy mess both on-line and
printed, so how do I get good PDF resolution for both displays?
1 What file type do I use for the SnagIt captures?
2 Do I change the colours ('bit') for that file type?
3 If scaling is the problem, how to I insert sensibly scaled
images
into Word (I am not going to use full sized images), so that Distiller
likes them?
4 What settings do I use in PDF Distiller for both on-line and
printed
display?
5 OR what two settings do I use if it is not possible to have one
version?
Is there anybody out there who has a neat solution to this?
Christine
