I posted this question in 2004 and raise it again to see if others have solved my problem or can direct me elsewhere.
—————————-
I scanned in my signature into Photoshop 7, cropped it and saved it as TIF with Adobe RGB 1998 profile.

When I embed the image in a MS Word doc the signature is visible and the signature background blends invisibly with the word doc background.

However, if I convert the word doc to a pdf using Adobe Acrobat the signature image is outlined in the page with a 1 or 2 pixel black rectangular border. The image properties in word shows "no border"

I have checked that Photoshop and Acrobat are using Adobe RGB 1998 by default and when documents are opened

What might be causing this and what can I try to remove the border which makes it so obvious that I have not personnally signed the pdf?

This seems to me to be an Acrobat problem. In Photoshop, you could try using the slice tool to remove a 2 pixel region from the image. Jim

Beemer,
What versions are you using?
I used Photoshop 7, Word 2000 & Acrobar 6.0 Pro ,
but could not reproduce the problem.
Can you post the file?
