RE: [mathcad] Re[2]: graphs publication
Author: Andrew    Posted: Wed, 24 Dec 2008 09:09:58 -0000
I would also agree that anything to do with screen shots, bmps etc is a
complete waste of time.

I get quite good results from creating pdf with Acrobat. I then export as a
tif file which I import into Word. The resulting graphic image appears to
be scalable.

If I did not have Acrobat I would give Neevia Docuprinter pro a try. This
can produce pdfs, tiffs and various outer formats from its printer driver.
Docuprinter is used as an alternative to the full version of acrobat by many
multinational corporations where I have used it. There is a try out option
on the Neevia web site along with a list of their users. The pro version
has the security options so is good value for money as a pdf maker in its
own right. $49

Best Regards

Andrew

Radovan, in my experience, neither screenshots nor "export as"
(pic/bmp/gif) will give enough resolution for paper-ready a MS. Only
way out (as I see it) is either through Word (it has to do with
Windows print drivers) and (as I usually do) through pdf (I use
CutePDF painlessly).

Worksheets can be "pasted" as images onto MS Word. Once you paste the
BMP, copy it again (from the Word doc) and paste as "windows enhanced
metafile" (which will significantly increase resolution). These are
the "misteries" of the Win OS and the "miseries" of the MathCAD
graphical standards. Well, the competition is even worse (Matlab, for
instance).

All the best,

W/best wishes,

Aldo P. Solari (fisheries biologist, PhD)
