*My Problem:* I use OOo Writer to make PDF files.
How can I adjust a photo to be so many pixels in a PDF file? Under Tools, Options, OpenOffice.org Writer, General - I can select "Centimeter, Inch, Pica, or Point" There is NO pixel scale. This constantly bothers me. Why? When I make a screen shot, some of the lines in the image are 1 pixel wide. I use the .png format to keep the image sharp. (.jpg format does not keep fine detail in an image.) The image *does look absolutely perfect in OOo Writer* with the image inserted "Original Size" and Zoom = 100%! When I view the PDF, however, with either full screen mode, or with the PDF set to 100%, the image does NOT look good. Trying to adjust the PDF zoom for a sharp image is nearly impossible. I don't think it's possible. * * * *My Work Around:* Here is what I do to get sharp images into a PDF file: I set the page in OOo Writer to be 12.80 in x 10.24 in. That is ratio of my LCD screen, 1280 x 1024 pixels. When I place an image into OOo Writer, I specify inches = pixels. (904 pixels x 347 pixels => 9.04 inches x 3.47 inches) Then, the PDF in full screen mode shows the image on my screen perfectly. Is there a better way? I am open to any ideas. I welcome your thoughts. Thank you, John Gilchrist
