Publisher 2013 - Print and PDF Quality issue for embedded Excel.

Anonymous

When I print or export to a PDF, the embedded Excel documents in my Publisher 2013 document do not have crisp, clear text. However exactly the same document under Office 2010 they look and print fine. I have an example of a PDF created from the same Publisher document, one in 2010 (on the left), one in 2013 (on the right) which I have uploaded that clearly demonstrate the issue. Is this a known bug, or a font issue with Office 2013? I work at a University where we have an enterprise licence for Office 2013 so are only just considering to roll it out to staff currently, but if this is an issue we will have to wait for a fix.

Hi,

I raised a case for this with MS in early 2013. I have recently had confirmation that it has been fixed. See this KB article:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2760434

I haven't tested it yet, as due to the delay in resolving the issue, we have had to use another solution.

Regards,

Graeme

Thank you very much for taking the time to post this. It will certainly be appreciated by many.

Hi DavidF -

I just upgraded to Office 2013 and unfortunately have encountered the same issues with embedded excel cells - at least I found this forum. Are there any updates on this issue?

Thanks for your help.

Sorry, but no I have not heard of any fixes from MSFT. From the other responses you got it doesn't sound like anyone else has seen much improvement either.
