Use TeXShop as a PDF manipulation tool
I tried using the selection tool of TeXShop (1.30) in the PDF view of my TeX file. I got the file called "texshop_image.pdf" ; but when I try to include this PDF file in a PowerPoint presentation and set the size of the image to 200 %, I can see the pixels in the image. So in my case, the resulting PDF insertions are resizable, but with a loss of clarity. I think that the generated PDF file is (in my case) the pdf conversion of the screenshot of the preview window, and not a really true PDF file...
Use TeXShop as a PDF manipulation tool
I experienced the same thing: the resulting PDF insertions are resizable, but with a loss of clarity. I tried saving the selection in different formats (tiff, jpg) but all show a loss of clarity. I discoverd however that setting the scale to 300% or more in the original pdf document from which the selection is copied, yields a better result. It confirms, I think, the idea that the copies are not true pdf files, but conversions of the screenshot of the preview window.
Use TeXShop as a PDF manipulation tool
The problem is in PowerPoint--not TeXShop. PowerPoint creates a bitmapped image when you insert a PDF file because it does not have native PDF graphics. The workaround is to open the PDF file in a PDF viewer (I use Acrobat Reader for this). Then, magnify the image to some ridiculous size (i.e., 500% or more). Use the graphics selection tool to copy the image and paste into PowerPoint. Then, in PowerPoint shrink the image to the correct size. |
