MS Office Forum / Publisher / Commercial Printing / January 2008Increase resolution in publisher document
I have sent a document to a commercial printers that I created in Publisher 2007 and saved as a PDF and a Tiff. The printer says the the resolution needs to be at least 300dpi. The flyer I created from scratch was saved as both Tiff and PDF and saved as 300dpi, but the printer has rejected both and says the resolution is not high enough. In Graphics Manager the details of my current flyer shows I have scaling 94% x 94% with an effect resolution of 102dpi. I am prepared to start again, so how do I create it to be 300dpi from scratch? vintageannie Assuming you have Pub 2003 or 2007, save the file as a .jpg and change the resolution to 300.

This depends on your source images. If your source images are of low resolution, there is nothing you can do to bring them up to 300dpi apart from: a) Make them smaller b) Replace them with higher-resolution images If the images are at the right resolution, then there is something wrong with the way you are exporting the file. Is the page setup of the flyer at the same paper size as it is going to be printed at? SignatureEd Bennett - MVP Microsoft Publisher http://ed.mvps.org The source image is a small logo supplied from elsewhere, the rest is just text in cmyk colours. So if I save the logo as a smaller image and import back into the document would it make any difference to the resolution? Yes the page setup is the same size as paper size it is going to be printed as. (I know I have to adjust it to allow for bleed) Signaturevintageannie > > I have sent a document to a commercial printers that I created in Publisher > > 2007 and saved as a PDF and a Tiff.

If the logo is small to begin with at it is already low resolution then there really is not anything that you can do. The trick to resolution is this: You can scale down (shrink) the image and resolution will go UP. You can scale up (enlarge) the image and resolution will go DOWN. But you can never "ADD" resolution to make it better. No matter what trickery you use small and low res will always look bad. Even if you were to make it 300 dpi it is still going to look like it does now. You can send it to me if you want, I can take a look at it.
