Question Hi. When I export my document with photos to a PDF to send for printing, the photo quality becomes inadequate. The photos that are loaded into the PageMaker document, however, are high-res photos. Am I doing something wrong when I'm exporting? Thanks!
Answer Hi Kerry,
First, make sure that the links to all the photos are okay in the links manager.
Second, make sure that you pdf settings are for press quality or PDF-x/1a. The key to high res photos in pdf's are making sure that your compression sttings are good. Downsampling should be set to not lower than 300dpi, bicubic downsampling, and use zip or no compression.
Hope this helps,
