PDF import

[Frank]

In Adobe Page maker, PDFs can be imported into a document in the same way a
picture can. Does Publisher 2007 have this ability? At present I send my
commercial printer PDFs of my magazine. He then has to place all the PDFs
that advertisers have sent me into the publication. If I could do that for
him, i could save myself a lot of money.

Thanks

I can but I have Adobe Acrobat, not just the free Reader installed on my
system.

There is an add-in for Office 2007 that creates PDF documents.

PageMaker placed PDFs as EPS files. If you can save them as EPS files you
can then place those into Publisher. I don't know what EPS version Publisher
2007 can import. Hopefully it can deal with ASCII encoded Level 3 with TIFF
preview. In the least it should be able to handle ASCII encoded Level 2 with
TIFF preview. If it can't do level 2 then I'd say run as quickly as
possible. That's about as dumb of an EPS as you can get. They should be
bullet proof because they're such an old spec.

Yes I can make the EPS files, but Publisher 03 still can not read the
pictures in the PDFs even when a Tiff Preview is requested. To me this does
not matter as I know from the supplied PDf what they look like. and when I
make the final PDF from the Publisher file that includes the EPS file, using
Distiller, all is in place. I was just interested to know in Publisher 07
allowed PDF to be imported in the same way that Adobe Page maker will.

Thanks
