I like to produce nice documents wnd nice figures are part of it. As a tool of choice I use (lua)LaTeX and embedding figures consist of:
- prepare vector graphics in
figure.pdfor high-resolutionfigure.png \includegraphics[width=<width>]{figure}
Job is done and result is really nice, no lines disappearing, no blur.
Now I am forced to use Word 2013 and I'm going slightly mad about it.
- When I include
figure.pdfit gets pixelated, downsampled and many image options are disabled. - When I include
figure.pngit is imported over whole page width. When I resize it to 8cm width, it is downsampled. Some lines vanish, contour lines become rubbish.
Is there a way how to keep the quality of embedded images?
I tried to rename the document, unzip it, replace the scrapped image in filename\media\ folder by the original one, zip it and rename back to .docx but it cannot be opened.
Suggested question addresses the issue when .pdf file is created from .docx file. Especially the upsampling of low-resolution images and increaing the size during .pdf output. My problem is with including images and arranging them within the .docx file.
The answer, that solves my problem is disregarded in the linked question, since it does not solve their problem.
