Tam, Before copying the image from Adobe Reader, set the zoom to 100%. The "snapshot tool" records the image from the PDF file exactly as seen on screen so if you zoom out to fit the whole certificate on screen, the resulting image transferred to the graphics program will be smaller and therefore of lower resolution when you zoom in again.
