The answer may depend on the type of pictures and the intended purpose
of the document. You may wish to conduct a few experiments, making sure to compare actual doc sizes and actual output quality in the intended output types. IE: how does it print on whatever it will need to be printed on? Does it still PDF ok, if that is needed? Does the PDF view ok? does the PDF print ok? in B&W? in color? etc.. |

Hi Jay,
extending the question: How do you control picture compression; I cant even get to tell me what format the pictures are in!! I have a paper with lots of maths in it. Its 283K as a PDF file, but the printer wants it as a Word file. Pictures at 300dpi turns it into 8.4MB. I would like to see if its using bitmap images and it it is turn them into somthing else.

great questions...
here's some info: http://answers.google.com/answers/threadview?id=42060 I would really grill the printer as to why the *** he wants a word file instead of PDF! He (she) should be able to give you a profile/spec for distilling the file to get a proper PDF. Depending on your tools available (version of Acrobat, etc) you can check the font use, graphics resolution, colorspace, (etc...) in the output PDF. If the colorspaces are correct and rhe resolutions are reasonable, it should be printable. regards Jay |
