I'm supposed to save a my Word 2007 document as a PDF file at 300

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%.


Note that the PDF uses the TT fonts on the PC it is opened on - unless you
specifically set the option to store them in the PDF.
