※グラフが.pdf形式でエクスポートされる件について
スレッドの表題から、ややずれて来ましたが、グラフ作成ソフト「Prism 5」のホームページに参考になる記述がありましたので以下に転載します。
Prism 5 Mac and PowerPoint or Keynote
With Prism 5, it is not possible to ungroup your pasted graph.
With the release of Leopard, Apple changed its standard for copy and pasting from the PICT format to PDF. As part of this switch, the ability to ungroup was lost. Images defined in pdf format simply cannot be ungrouped by any program we know of.
As part of its Cocoa programming framework that we rely on, Apple no longer provides the software tools/hooks that would allow Prism to copy vector-Pict images to the clipboard (except as bitmaps, which cannot be ungrouped). PDF has replaced PICT as the Mac standard and produces a very compact and clear image. This is a decision Apple made, not us. PICT files encoded QuickDraw commands, while PDF files encode the newer Quartz graphic commands. This switch offers many advantages, including the fact that vertical and angled text now pastes properly. It would be all but impossible for Prism to copy PICT files to the clipboard. We'd either need to use an older programming framework (with other problems and bugs) or recreate our own PICT format (months of work). Even if we did that, Apple has said that Pict files have been 'deprecated' so they won't be supported in future Mac OSX versions.
When you copy a graph or layout from Prism 5 Mac, Prism puts a PDF version on the clipboard.The Mac system also creates a bitmap version of the graph, and puts that on the clipboard too. So now there are two versions on the clipboard: pdf and bitmap (labeled pict). What happens next depends on which program you use to paste:
- PowerPoint 2008, by default, pastes the bitmap image. This takes up more memory and is fuzzier, so it makes absolutely no sense to paste this version. We've notified Microsoft repeatedly about this PowerPoint bug, but it still isn't fixed as of PowerPoint 2008, 12.2.3. There is a simple workaround. Don't use the Paste command. Instead drop the Edit menu, choose Paste Special, and then choose the pdf version of the graph.
- Keynote pastes the pdf version.
- Older versions of PowerPoint cannot paste pdf images, so paste the pict bitmap.
