Diagram Publishing with Chess Pad
Hello.
I am trying to paste a diagram from chess pad to MS word 2010 standard edition, but when I convert the file into PDF, a board without colors and pieces show up! What would be wrong and what to do about it?
Thanks in advance

Re: Diagram Publishing with Chess Pad
when you say "convert" you mean that you click the file menu then "save as" and then change the file format to pdf?

Aha - that should work. However....
Save the file as a pdf somewhere, clicking the option "open file after saving"
see if that makes a difference
and then attach it to an email.

Re: Diagram Publishing with Chess Pad
ok - paste any file with a sample colour diagram and text into a new word document, save it
then save it as a pdf file
then attach both files to this thread
then save it as a pdf file
then attach both files to this thread

Re: Diagram Publishing with Chess Pad
Chess base diagrams display OK, the problem is with ChessPad (2.0) diagrams

Re: Diagram Publishing with Chess Pad
the problem is with the fonts - even if they render correctly on your screen when you use Chesspad 2 I think you may struggle to export them
however
why not install Greenshot (google it) and then clip the diagrams from Chesspad 2 directly from the screen into Word? That will certainly work

Re: Diagram Publishing with Chess Pad
َAll these is because I want the diagrams textual. They are now graphical (combination of Arena and Gimp) and some customers said they don't show well in a great book like my translation of Play Winning Chess.

Yesterday I printed a diagram when I was in the office at univeersity.
They printed. I didn't convert the file and printed directly from word 2010

Re: Diagram Publishing with Chess Pad
Can I do anything else to import the fonts into PDF correctly?
In case I have to move the .docx file, what settings do I have to change on the target computer?

Re: Diagram Publishing with Chess Pad
yes, when you create a pdf from word you have to choose the option to embed the fonts
How to Embed Fonts:
Within MS Word click File “Save As” ...
Under “PDF Options” check off “ISO 19005-1 compliant (PDF/A)” ...
Update your Adobe Printer. ...
Make sure Rely on system fonts only; do not use document fonts in unchecked. ...
Select the Fonts folder and highlight all of the fonts listed under the “never embed” tab and select.
