Use a program like Paint Shop pro that converts your graphics to eps.
Change your links. Use eps in the future.

Subject:  PDF xxx in screens




Hi All,
I've briefly checked the archives (search isn't working) and can't find =
a fix for this problem, so here goes:
I have screen captures in .wmf that I import to Word97. I make them =
grayscale, then convert the file to .pdf. When they get to .pdf, =
although they print great, they look disgusting on the screen. I have =
rows and rows of little xxxxxxs wherever the screen is gray. The font is =
all blotchy and bumpy, like some part of the letters are bold and some =
are not. I have to view the .pdf file at about 200% before you can =
actually read the text.
I've tried .bmps. I've tried .tiffs. I've tried using Paint Shop Pro to =
decrease the color depth the 16 colors. I've tried different Job Option =
compression settings in Adobe Distiller. Deep sigh ... any idea why the =
look so bad on screen?
Sonja
