I am trying to upload a Word Document with an embedded picture (a copy and paste enhanced metafile image from PowerPoint) into google Docs and it doesn’t seem to work. I need to bring this file into google docs so that I can export it as a .pdf file for my Shul Melaveh Malkah (the printer needs a .pdf file or a huge setup fee).
with Powerpoint I can convert to a jpeg file and upload the picture perfectly, however they load as landscape and I need portrait.
any help with either of these possibilities would be greatly appreciated. thanks

February 19, 2009 4:40 pm at 4:40 pm #638506SJSinNYCMembermdlevine, I dont the answer, but maybe rotate the entire picture/document so that powerpoint sees it as landscape (does that make sense? I’m not sure if I can explain that well).
Like if PP sees it normally as = make it ” (closest I could come) so that the landscape is really regular.
Good luck.

if you have microsoft word 2007, you can download a thingie from microsoft that enables you to create PDFs directly from word without needing to use google docs.
I don’t know if this download is available for earlier versions of word or not, I searched the microsoft site and didn’t see it but maybe I missed it. If you don’t have word 2007, maybe you can email it as a .doc to someone who does and they can make it into a pdf and send it back to you.
February 19, 2009 6:31 pm at 6:31 pm #638508charlie brownMemberoh and mdlevine, I have word 2007 at home and would be happy to help if you have an older version. Maybe you can email your doc to a moderator and ask if they can email it to me, then I can make it into a pdf and send it back via the mod. I won’t be home till tonight, i hope it won’t be too late by then for this melave malka flyer.
February 19, 2009 6:33 pm at 6:33 pm #638509mdlevineMemberthanks everybody.
I tried the help key and I tried changing the orientation
I did not try to microsoft link because before this post I was told of something called PDF995 which is free. I tried a few sample (single page, multiple page, diff languages and fonts) and it worked perfectly! it shows up in your printer selection and you choose that.
I was going to buy it from adobe for 9.99/month if this didn’t work.
as I mentioned in the opening post – I need to do this for a Melaveh Malkah AD journal for the Young Israel of Spring Valley which is in Memory of Rabbi Heshy and Suzy Chapler Z”L. If anyone is interested in details please contact [email protected]
February 19, 2009 8:08 pm at 8:08 pm #638510mdlevineMemberthanks for the offer charlie brown, but it will hopefully be 100 pages in PowerPoint and I think that the PDF995 approach is going to work.
