I want to include a publication quality vector graphic in MS word. EMF seems to be the only vector format which word handles without massive issues. Therefore I am exporting a figure from Illustrator as EMF. When loading the exported EMF figure again in Illustrator (same observation in word) I notice a significant loss in precision, look at the screenshots of the following zoomed in sections below:
original .AI:
exported to .EMF and then re-loaded:
Is there any way how I can handle this resolution/precision? I tried - effect -> document raster effect setting -> increase the default 300dpi a lot without any improvement.
Word cannot handle EPS files in any decent way (very low res pixelation) so this is not an option, the only other vector format that would be supported is WMF but that one also gets pixeled badly.
I am using Illustrator CS6 (16.0.0 in Windows 7 64 bit)
Any help will be appreciated!
