High Resolution PDF

[gadgetgeek]

The printers used by the company I work for have just requested a high resolution PDF in order to print a safety booklet which was originally submitted a short while back but was not of a high enough quality to print in its present format. The company logo etc I have sorted as a high resolution jpeg to be attached but is there anything I can do to improve the Microsoft Publisher and Word 2007 doc that I convert to PDF to make i a higher res? Thank you

I don't think so.

For the highest resolution output, it would have been better to use a bitmap file, rather than a jpeg, for the logo.

To get the best quality output, use Adobe's online file conversion service:

See here for the optimization settings available:

There's a very limited free trial available (just 5 documents), but a one month subscription (£5.55 + VAT = £7.20) won't break the bank anyway:

No. If existing images and graphics are showing as pixilated (not high enough resolution), you'll need to get high(er) resolution versions of those images before remaking your final .pdf at high res (300 dpi - dots per inch).

I don't agree. If your .jpeg file is 300 dpi at 100% that will be fine...
