Re: Saving images in PDF from Mac to PC

What file format are you saving the template as? What file format is the other user saving the document as before generating the PDF? If either is not using an OXML format the Reflection effect isn't supported. Other than that it's hard to hazard a guess without much more explicit detail about the construction & nature of the graphic as well as the specific workflow being followed to output the PDF.

You might want to try saving the logo, itself, in an appropriate graphics file format & inserting that into your template in place of the Word graphic object you created.

Hello,

Can anyone help with an issue I am having in trying to get the same result on a Mac and PC in Word Office 2008.

In a template I have created a logo as part of a header and it has a reflection, created with the image effects new to this version. Looks great. However when sent to a colleague on PC who needs to use this template for a large number number of docs, in saving to PDF it holds the image, but not the reflection and destroys the effect.

Any ideas how to preserve it?

Have suggested she make sure her Office 2007 has latest updates, etc. but as per Clive Huggan's very helpful document (http://word.mvps.org/Mac/Bend/BendWordToYourWill.html)...maybe it is the fundamental differences between the way Macs and PCs deal with printing.

I am still working on getting my Mac Word documents to read and print coherently on a PC...so could well be back on the help boards seeking advice!

Appreciate any help you can offer ...

Thanks,
Nirado
