I have Publisher 2002 and used PrimoPDF to save as a PDF. It looks great
except for the fact the images are unclear and pixilated! Ugh. Any
suggestions? Do I need to upgrade to 2007? Or should I just upgrade with
whatever Adobe has? Help. Any other options?

Primo has a forum, you probably will get a better solution reading the answers
given there. What is the resolution of your pictures? Are you getting them from
the Internet?

No. I am using original images. They look great in publisher. They just
aren't coming through in the PDF.

Yes, absolutely. I am not new to this, just new (or returning) to PC. I am
used to Print Shop on my MacBook Pro which makes PDF's from any file type.

Check settings in Primo (sorry haven't used primo in a year), if no go...try
CutePdf and there's a couple of other free ones out there.

I finally broke down and spent the bucks on Acrobat 8 Pro and don't regret
it at all :-)

=======================================
Just wondering....what are the pixel dimensions of the
images you are inserting into the publisher document?
If you navigate to the folder the images are saved in
and place your mouse pointer on a thumbnail...a tooltip
will report dimensions, file type and memory size.

Primo has a few different settings. I rely on Publisher 2007 and it's
feature/plug-in to save out PDF/XPS files.
