If your art's one-color, you could use art embedded in a custom font as an intermediary step on the Mac side, too. I used Fontographer then, but there's a new font package for OS X (if that's what you're using) that's supposed to be pretty solid. So for my company, I had a special company True Type font that contained all our logos, and everyone used it. Another thing to do - and this a cool workaround in certain circumstances, is if you've got a bunch of 1-color figures that you'll use often, like product logos in my case, is to slap all your logos into a True Type font package, and make your own font. As it is, the figures look pretty crummy in Acrobat reader because it does a terrible job of anti-aliasing lines and (outlined) text.I'm wondering if Acrobat maybe uses the TIFF preview for the screen version and substitutes Postscript for the print version? If so, is there any way to have it regenerate a nicer preview to use?Is there a better way? (Besides using another program?)Īnother solution is to use Visio (Windows only) - it's not Illustrator by a long shot, but may work for what you're doing, and I'm pretty sure you can copy and paste right into Word. ![]() ![]() actually I do this for all text anyways, because sometimes Distiller can't find the fonts)Convert figures into EPS format (v10)Import EPS figures into WordInstead of printing to PDF, change output options to Print to PostscriptTake the Postscript file and use Distiller to produce a PDFThis is a huge PITA, but unless I do it this way, Word seems to only produce PDFs with the horrbily pixelated TIFF/PICT preview. I need a way to import vector graphics from Illustrator into Word:X that doesn't produce asstastic output.My current workflow is this:(If there is vertical text, create outlines for text.
