Title: Can Qimage help me with Word docs?
Post by: CHoffman on October 06, 2020, 11:17:29 PM
I often do MS Word documents with a lot of embedded photos. Is there any path that lets me print those docs with Qimage and take advantage of the better color management and such? I assume any such method would work with Powerpoint and other programs?

The only thing I can think of would be if you were able in WORD to export the document as a JPG. Then print.

That's sort of what I was thinking, but I have to see how well text/fonts come out. I also don't know if the original image parameters get passed through Word, or if it does something strange. I wonder if there's some common file format that both Word and Qimage understand that would be better than jpg or tiff? Will investigate further.
Thanks!

Hi

You can export the word document as a PDF, then open it in Photoshop or Affinity and 'Save As' a .tif or .jpg, or use the QI plug-in.
