Does Publisher read XAML
I have Expression Design 1 and want to make .pdfs from files I create with
it. Unfortunately when it exports as .pdf it exports as one big image and any text in the resulting file is unsearchable. So I thought I could export as a XAML file and retain the text. Does Publisher 2007 read XAML files? If it does can it export a .pdf or somethign that can be turned into a .pdf (with searchable text and not one big image)? Is it easy to export .pdf with Publisher? I do not yet own a copy. |

Have you tried printing to a PDF using something like PrimoPDF (www.primopdf.com) from Expression Design? -- Ed Bennett - MVP Microsoft Publisher http://ed.mvps.org |

Does Publisher read XAML
I have tried printing to a PDF print driver (pdf creater) but it too converts
any file printed into one big image that is unsearchable. It does not retain the text. I am making online .pdf manuals so having the ability to search text is important to the readers. My guess is that PrimoPDF also converts any files printed into one image per page in the resulting .pdf it produces. Perhaps a future version of Publisher can read XAML files. Lets hope. |

but the Acrobat Reader searches it's own text, so your readers would be able
to search right? -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Rob Giordano Microsoft MVP Expression "GameVein" wrote in message ...

Does Publisher read XAML
Unfortunately when Expression Design exports things it exports them as one
giant image. There is no text, just an image of the text as part of the larger page image. So when the resulting .pdf is put into Acrobat Reader there is not even the word "the" to be found when searching. It is just one large image for each page. It means we don't need to include fonts imbedded in the .pdfs but it makes it so that the text cannot be searched.

If you want searchable text why would you use a graphics design program to
generate the text.? Use Word or similar. John G. .. "GameVein" wrote in message ... Unfortunately when Expression Design exports things it exports them as one giant image.
