I'm guessing that the OOo HTML converter will probably turn images |
| 22 |
into PNGs. If you want to see what the original format is then open |
| 23 |
the .doc file using OOo and Save As an ODF file - OOo's open document |
| 24 |
format. Then unzip it and in the folder that is created amongst other |
| 25 |
you will find: |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
-Configurations/Images |
| 28 |
-Pictures |
| 29 |
-Thumbnails |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
assuming that OOo was successful in converting them to a |
| 32 |
non-proprietary format. However, if the signature file is a MSWindows |
| 33 |
embedded metafile you may be out of luck. In that case the only |
| 34 |
solution is to ask the originators of these files to paste/embed these |
| 35 |
signature images as a png/jpeg file. |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
Coming to think of it, you may also be able to copy and paste the |
| 38 |
image after you convert the file into pdf ... but I am not sure if |
| 39 |
this is going to help with your problem. |
