Use TeXShop as a PDF manipulation tool
Authored by: googoo on Aug 19, '03 09:33:43AM

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.

I used the above procedure for years before I discovered Keynote with its native PDF graphics. I hardly ever use PowerPoint any more.
