PDF XChange Forum

After importing an emf graphic into an MSWord 2003 document, then pdf'ing it using the PDF Xchange Tool icon in MSWord, the resultant pdf, whilst retaining the vector graphics, did not retain the color information for some of the objects in the image.
It made no difference whether the "Compress graphics" option was selected or not. (Zip file compression was checked).
The .doc & .pdf files are attached.

Is this a known problem or can I pdf the document properly without losing the vector data?

Hi Bob,

Looks like I can replicate the issue found - seems to lose the blue gradient ?

This is with our project manager for the driver products - hope to have a fix soon.

thanks for your Patience

John,

Yes, the colour gradient is the problem.
Thanks for the response.

Bob

Thanks Bob,

fix should be in build 55 next week.

Hi BobM,

I'm afraid we were not able to reproduce the issue in time to include a fix in build 55. We will be aiming got get this done for the release of version 2.5 expected later in the autumn.

Hi BobM,

I'm pleased to be able to tell you that the cause of this has been positively identified and that the fix will indeed be in the next release. This will be version is now available this week.

Many thanks for this fix - its superb and works fine. And is something that Acrobat Pro still can't do

(Apologies for the delayed response, I've only just seen your post.)

Kudos for Paul for bringing the good news

And no worries Bob, as long as the case is resolved we are all happy!

Cheers,
Stefan
