I did the following, which is simpler than it sounds:

1. In Outlook, Format Text tab, select HTML.

2. Highlight the Acrobat window displaying the PDF

3. Click Alt-PrtScr

4. Highlight the Outlook window

5. Click Ctrl-V. Pasted image appears in the email.

6. Highlight the image in the Outlook window

7. Click Picture Tools Format|Crop

8. Crop away the unwanted parts of the pasted image.


So that's simple?  :+)At one of these steps you're getting a default
resolution, likely 72 dpi or 100 dpi.

Install ImageMagick from

https://www.imagemagick.org/script/binary-releases.php#windows

It's easy to use and allows *you* to determine the resolution of the raster
graphic.

Example:

  convert -density 300 palms.pdf palms.png

produces a file of size 118649 bytes.

  convert -density 300 palms.pdf palms.jpg

produces a file of size 596466 bytes.

And pngs can be compressed further (losslessly).

  optipng palms.png

reduces the size another 12%.

maybe there is some problem with transparent color which is displayed as
black.

Works for me on Windows 7.  Perhaps 600 dpi was overkill.


Is black with Irfanview, but OK with Firefox. The sharp is OK.

Works for me on Windows 7.  Perhaps 600 dpi was overkill.

Yes. But I presume Don had some reason to convert PDF to a
raster graphic. And for that kind of image, png is a more
economical format than jpg.

Don: How are converting pdf to jpg? Can you not contrul the
resolution?

AFAIK the png format describes pixels like jpg. It is not vector graphics like 
pdf or PostScript.

Strange indeed!!

Confirming Jean-Pierre's observation, when I use Adobe Acrobat in Windows 7
to view the pdf I posted, I see the white gaps at magnifications of 253% or
less, but solid black at higher magnification.

Thanks. Perhaps a feature of this funny font? What is its name? Can you try a 
good old font?

[Tex-music] Strange "#" symbol

Subject: Re: [Tex-music] X - noteheads

 

Since no one responded to my plea, I bit the bullet and dug into
musixtex.tex. I did come up with a method. But I wanted to use it in PMX,
enabling PMX to replace ordinary quarters and 8ths with X-notes. So it got
very ugly. Didn't use musixper at all, except for clues on how to substitute
an alternate symbol for a notehead. If anyone cares to have a look, I'd
appreciate it if you could figure out how to do this more efficiently.

 

Unfortunately you'll need to have installed the jazz fonts and musixjaz.tex
to compile the sample file.

 

While we're at it, does anyone have any idea why the "#" symbol in the
subtitle looks weird? I got the same result both with ghostview and with
acrobat distiller.
