IÕm operating on Mac OS 9.1. IÕm not sure if this is a Photo Elements question, but P/E may help.
Printing a PDF from Acrobat Reader, using my inkjet printer works fine; the printing results are good. But IÕll describe what IÕm trying to do.
I donÕt have the full version of Acrobat, just Acrobat Reader (5). What IÕm trying to do is ÒcaptureÓ an Acrobat Reader PDF page, using the ÒGraphics Select ToolÓ, then paste it into, say, Pagemaker. Of course, it comes into Pagemaker as a PICT. IÕve also tried capturing the page as a Screen Shot, which would be saved as a TIFF, but with both, I get the same results: printing from Pagemaker results in a ÒblurredÓ image, if thatÕs the correct terminology.
If I were to paste the image, from Reader, into the App, Graphic Converter, then save the image as a jpeg, the same printing results occur.
Is it possible to get a ÒsharpÓ image using a copy/paste method? Perhaps doing this requires the ÒfullÓ version of Acrobat.
Any idea as to what Applications I might need to get good printing results, when copy/pasting from Acrobat Reader?
One of my reasons for wanting to ÒcaptureÓ pages from Reader is that I want to capture the pages from a PDF User Manual file, then rearrange them into an ÒimpositionÓ for printing on my inkjet printer.
Any ideas?
