You can open a pdf in Photoshop.

I have tried both solutions , but in both cases the quality was poor and the drawings' detail invisible.

just got email from my friend: possible solution?!

Hooray
I worked out how to get PDFs into Word:

Get drawing onto screen (as large as possible) in Acrobat Viewer
Press Prt Scr button
Go to Word, and make Page Landscape format
Ctrl V to paste it
And there it is
Crop as necessary (or easier to crop in Photoshop?)

When opening PDF in PS - you have to set the DPI of rasterized image
You also have to set the proper DPI on PDF output in AC.
if You set it too low - You get poor quality.
BTW AFAIR the importing of PDFs work differenlty in oleder and newer PS.


Best regards,

What is the best DPI for, say A3 size drawing with building details which you want to be able to read when printed on A4

Don't do this - if you're worried about resolution/quality this is possibly the worst thing to do. The Print Screen button takes a screen shot at 72 dpi (Bad for printing.)

To print you should try and work with about 300dpi.
