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
