Default Word 2007 PDF specifications

I'm supposed to save a my Word 2007 document as a PDF file at 300 DPI. I
have some doubt that Word's PDF function saves at that high level, mostly
because it seems to be such a small file. Is there anyway to find out
exactly what the DPI is that Word saves at?


If you're using Truetype fonts, as you probably are, and no bitmap
illustrations, DPI is irrelevant -- it's just lines and text. Text
PDFs are pretty compact.

View the PDF in Acrobat reader, zoom in to the max. You should see no
graininess, should be smooth even at 6400%.
