Use Preview? I just saved a PDF created in R on linux into a PNG using Preview's conversion on Mac, then dragged the file off my desktop into a Word 2004 document on Mac. I opened the file using Word for Windows running under Parallels and it looked just fine. E.g. I could see and re-size the PNG in Word.
Preview can be programmed with automator if that is more efficient. --Eric P.S. However, for maximum efficiency, it may be necessary to create an Automator script to delete all copies of Word that infest your computer. ;-) Byron Ellis wrote: > On 1/29/07, Simon Urbanek <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > >> To get back on the topic: To be honest I don't really see a problem >> here - Word can handle PDF very easily, just drop a PDF file in a >> Word document - it works just fine (to make sure I'm talking about >> Office 2004 here). >> >> The fact that it does so in Microsoft-ish way, that is by converting >> it to a bitmap, is a technicality and given the overall quality of >> Word output it is neither surprising nor will a regular Word user >> notice this at all. >> > > Unfortunately, it happens to convert it to a form of bitmap that is > not visible on PC platforms unless they have Quicktime installed (as I > rediscover every time I need to make a Word document... :-) ) > > > _______________________________________________ R-SIG-Mac mailing list [email protected] https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-mac
