Default Chart export - high resolution, no gif or jpeg

I did a project one time with a guy who had Adobe Illustrator. I would
create my Excel charts and print it to a PDF file. When I looked at the PDFs
they looked so-so, still just the screen resolution, but he received them
and claimed they were great. He sent me the glossy brochures he had printed
up, and they did look nice. Turns out a PDF stores a vector graphic
internally in postscript, but displays a low resolution bitmap on screen.

Hi Bernard,

I like to make the chart large and copy it to a graphics program such as
PaintShopPro or PhotoShop
Then save in format required after resizing to suitable pixel count


Thanks for the hint, but that doesn't really help me. As soon as I use
the clipboard, I end up with a screen resolution copy of the chart,
and resizing it doesn't change it (at least not in Excel 2003). Surely
there must be a way to receive the chart as a vector graphics or
something similarly high-resolutional?

Regards,

Chris
