billd6 Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Acrobat 10.1.3 FP 8.0.20 Mac OS 10.7.4 I'm trying to create name badges that have employee pictures and names. The pictures were created in Photoshop and saved as 300 dpi tiff files. I've created all the necessary rules and resources but when I preview the output of the badges, the photos appear very pixelated as tho they were down sampled. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated as I told my boss this job would be a "piece of cake" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scubajbc Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Are you going by just what you see on the screen? I would try to compose a few records and see what the output looks like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Korn Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Preview output is always downsampled, to be fast. Do a regular (non-Preview) composition and see how the output looks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

step Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 I'd bet you have this set to downsample to 72dpi at composition. When you compose, click the "Graphics" tab, and verify that under "downsample all graphics to 72 dpi" the first radio button ("Never, graphics are used at their full resolution") is selected.
