Hi all, and happy new year! When I produce a PDF with some embedded bitmap image, I always face the problem of finding a good balance between resulting PDF "weight" and overall printout quality. In other words, in a page where I put a particular JPEG image in a square box of 5 cm, what size (in pixels) should I use for the image without wasting too much disk space embedding un-resized multi-mega-pixels image as obtained by modern digital cameras in the PDF? I understand that the answer is conditioned on the printer technology used to render the PDF on paper and probably other factors... so, assuming it's some modern-but-common inkjet printer, what would you suggest as a reasonable relation between a box sized in "PDF points" and the related JPEG image "pixels"? Thanks in advance, ciao, lele. -- nickname: Lele Gaifax | Quando vivrò di quello che ho pensato ieri real: Emanuele Gaifas | comincerò ad aver paura di chi mi copia.
