How can I include 2 maps (in "My Documents") in a newsletter?

[Grady Jensen]

I have two 8 1/2 X 11 maps in My Documents, which I want to incorporate into
a 6- or 8-page newsletter. I send the finished newsletter copy to the printer
by e-mail.

How can I bring the maps from My Documents into the final newsletter copy,
as two pages, for transmission to the printer?

What format are your maps in?
What version of Publisher are you using?
What version of Windows are you using?
What format does your printer want the final output to be in?

Maps are in pdf format.
Publisher 2003
Windows XP
Final format should be a page of a Publisher 2003 newslatter

The REAL answer is no. Publisher doesn't accept the importing of PDF files.
However, if you have say, Adobe Acrobat, you could output the PDF as an EPS
image and insert that graphic into Publisher.

Or else, snap a screenshot of the map and crop/edit and then paste as an
image into Publisher.

Brian,

Please be a bit more specific (and in layman's terms) what you mean by
"output the PDF as an EPS image and insert that graphic into Publisher." What
is an EPS image?

Do you have Acrobat?
Open the PDF document, save as... Encapsulated Post Script (eps)...

Or you could use the free GhostScript and GSView from
http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/ to do the same thing.

You need to print to a PostScript printer or a PDF file in order for these
to print correctly, though.

Brian,

Why save as an eps instead of a tif, jpg or other file? That negates the
need for a postscript printer to create the final output.
