I am using Word 2010 and Acrobat X Standard. I have written a VBA application which creates a Word 2010 document and saves it as a PDF.
I have a problem with exporting to PDF from within Word 2010.
In Word 2010, I have specified File, Options, Advanced, Do not compress images and my images are saved in the Word document with high resolution.
On the Ribbon's Acrobat tag, I have created my own preferences with all compression and downsample turned off.
When I Create PDF from the ribbon, the resulting PDF document resolution is beautiful.
I used Word's Record Macro feature to capture the action taken:
ActiveDocument.ExportAsFixedFormat _
OutputFileName:="C:\Gary\Book Publishing\Projects\Problem With Images\Sample.pdf", _
ExportFormat:=wdExportFormatPDF, _
OpenAfterExport:=False, _
OptimizeFor:=wdExportOptimizeForPrint, _
Range:=wdExportAllDocument, _
From:=1, _
To:=1, _
Item:=wdExportDocumentContent, _
IncludeDocProps:=False, _
KeepIRM:=False, _
CreateBookmarks:=wdExportCreateHeadingBookmarks, _
DocStructureTags:=True, _
BitmapMissingFonts:=False, _
UseISO19005_1:=False
When I put this code into my Word VBA code, the images in the output PDF are at a much lower resolution. It feels like the Preferences are not being honoured. Any ideas?
