Re: Text in images looks terrible

I'm afraid they are not grouped.

I learned a bit more this morning. If I import the Word file into
Adobe In Design, the text in the diagrams looks good and prints
properly. The problem is that the import is very flaky and there's
lots of reworking I have to do to get everything to look good. I'd
rather stick with Word.

But I don't know if the problem is with Word, or with the OS X pdf
facility, or with my print driver (the printer is a Canon IP4300). And
I'm not sure how to figure that out.

Is the Canon driver in use when I make a pdf via the print dialog? If
so, can I fool the machine into using a different print driver?

And if not, is there another way to make a pdf?

Thanks very much for your help,
Steve

But when I try to print, or make a pdf, the text in the images looks
horribly pixelated. Instead of scalable text that looks good at any
resolution, it looks like a very low-res bitmap that's been blown up.

I have had the exact same problem (and reported it).
The problem only occurs when the images are grouped (with anything
actually). If I ungroup, the pixelization disappears and I get back to
seomthing normal.

Is that the case also for you??
