John Dirks Jr Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 I write my reports in Word. I insert pictures in the body of the report. I convert it to PDF before emailing to the client. Is there a way to attach larger size hyperlinked versions of the pictures that are in the report? Imagine it like this. You are scrolling through a PDF report. You see a picture that you want to blow up for a better look at detail. You click on the pic and it pops up enlarged in a different window. Can this be done? If so, how?

AHI in AR Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 Like you said, it would have to be hyperlinked to a file hosted on your computer or elsewhere. Seems like a lot of trouble though. For those few pics I want larger, I simply enlarge them in the report itself before converting it to a PDF. You should be able to easily do that if your working in Word. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bain Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 I'm not trying to stir up a debate, but I give clients CD-ROMs that contain 1-meg photos of all the flubs and other stuff they should see. It looks much tidier--and probably more professional--to embed the photos in the report, but when I did it that way, clients called and complained that they didn't understand what was depicted. I use the incredibly simplistic Paint program to insert text into the photos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Dirks Jr Posted January 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 Jim, that is a perfect solution. I don't know why I didn't realize that. Also, in the emial I use to sent the PDF report I'll also offer to send them a folder containing the full size pics if they want. CD roms will also be offered as an option when asked for.

kurt Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 I know this sounds simplistic, but when I have this issue, I work to think more like a photographer in how I could frame and/or light the shot to provide more information. Initially, I'd just snap away & walk away from a job w/100 pics. Now, when I see an issue, I take a few seconds to think about the image, and what would work best. That, and the zoom in feature on Acrobat. I also mark up my photos in Acrobat; there's a real simple arrow & circle drawing feature that pinpoints the concern in the photo. Or, I burn CD's on occasion. Cheap & easy. Working w/photos is both a total pain in the butt and a blessing in disguise. Taking the right image, not several bad images, is a skill I had to develop.

John Dirks Jr Posted January 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 Kurt, how do I get to the photo markup tools in Acrobat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaronm Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 Kurt: Comments - Drawing Markup Tools - Callout Tool Insert the callout where you want it. Use the hand tool to select the balloon and then insert the text at the cursor. Aaron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
