Bu there are also seem to be multiple versions of EMF floating around, and I've noticed some issues popping up again with Office 2007. In any case, you might try running EMF files through Adobe Illustrator and saving them as a new file (EMF or PDF) before releasing them on Microsoft products. I've had success with this in the past. > Graphics export for high quality documents > > For use in the book we want to import the pictures into Adobe > InDesign. > I am not an InDesign user, but when I have tried to import PDFs from > Mathematica using the Place command, what I get looks like a scaled, > low > res bitmap.

It's possible that the low-quality image you see is simply to speed up its display in InDesign; try menuing View > Display Performance and choosing a higher setting. -- Andy
