MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / February 2007Inserting pdf page into powerpoint - help
I've got a pdf file that I want to insert into powerpoint. I used Acrobat's screen capture, but after pasting it into powerpoint, it looks yukky. I enlarged the pdf (on my screen) as much as I can which improves the image, but doesn't make it good. The original pdf prints fine. Is it possible to insert the pdf pages directly into powerpoint? Thanks. > I've got a pdf file that I want to insert into powerpoint. I used Acrobat's > screen capture, but after pasting it into powerpoint, it looks yukky.

The trick is to select the area you want with the graphic selection tool, then zoom in (try 400-800% for starters) while the area's still selected and then do the copy/paste. However, if you have Acrobat and not the free Reader, you can simply export as a PNG or similar file. ----------------------------------------- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================ Yes, I have Acrobat ... didn't realize I could export as png or similar. I'll try that. I only had the zoom at 100 ... as big as I could "see" ... obviously not big enough. I knew that size mattered, but it's difficult to "drag" the mouse and see what your selecting at that size. Is there a trick I'm missing there? >> I've got a pdf file that I want to insert into powerpoint.

I'd never had thought to select then zoom (and I usually come up with some strange workarounds). I like it. Thanks.

Boooooo. Been there, slammed into that. Creep up on it. Start with a lower zoom level. > In article <#4VmSbsUHHA.4076@TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl>, Cowtoon wrote: > > Yes, I have Acrobat ... didn't realize I could export as png or similar.

It was 800 that didn't blew out of ram. 400 works and will suffice for what I need. Thanks again.
