Fuzzy text on a .pdf insert

I have a .pdf file that prints a clear 6x8 image with text in the middle of
an 8-1/2 x 11" sheet. When I insert/object this same file to a page in a
newsletter that I've built (using MS Publisher 2003) and print, the text is
fuzzy.

What do I need to do to make my inserted .pdf have the same clarity
(resolution) as the original .pdf when I print it in MS Publisher 2003?

Re-create the text in Publisher. You are inserting a picture not text.

That's right, it is a picture with text on it. More specifically,
it is an advertisement for a company that would like to place
a full-page ad in my newsletter. They are sending over the
proof as a .pdf for me to insert. I don't want to have to change
their proof, I would like to just plop it into my Publisher file.

I just figured out that I can use the 'Snapshot Tool' in adobe reader
and then paste the image onto my page. Works well.

yep...pdf's do not insert as an object well. I always end up using Acrobat
to Save as an image file then using the image in Pub.
