  • Poor quality pdf conversion

    Posted by Rob Hindley on March 10, 2010 at 1:11 am

    We are operating InDesign CS4 version 6.0.4.

    We have a business card with a number of high resolution psd files. But when we export to pdf with print quality settings, the resulting pdf (when opened in Acrobat Pro) shows the high res files as extremely low res – badly bitmapped. We have tried higher compression settings to no avail as well.

    Anyone else experienced this or is it an updating issue?

    To get a coherent answer, you’ll probably have to provide greater detail about your PDF export method. What you’re seeing isn’t a common problem, so something somewhere isn’t right. It will take some troubleshooting to find it. Can you post the offending PDF?

    Firstly, check to see if the links are missing or altered in your Indy document. If its all good, open your pdf in Illy, and click on the images with the white arrow tool. In the control panel at the top, where the x & y position information is located, there it will also tell you the resolution of the graphic. Is that correct according to your pdf output settings?
