How to deal with figure?

Hi,

 

I drew a figure by Numbers.

 

I have no idea about how to migrate it to Id.

 

I tried copy and paste but it looks ugly.

This. It seems like your charting tool must have an export feature, with PDF or at least a high-resolution JPEG/PNG option. Save the image and Place it in ID.

 

If not, expand the chart to the largest display size you can, use a screen capture tool, and clean that up in Photoshop.

Can you make PDF from Numbers?
If so - export it to PDF and then use File>Place to put into InDesign

Numbers has a pdf option.

 

My idea is:

- turn chart into PDF or screenshot

- edit it with Ai or Ps

- place it on Id

Paste them into Illustrator and clean them up there.
