Specifies the resolution (in dots per inch) for raster images for PDF files.
When you set a higher resolution, the file is more precise, but the file size is also larger.
When you create PDF files intended for plotting, select a resolution to match the output of your plotter or printer. High resolutions (over 2,400 dpi) are for viewing. For example, when you create PDF files of drawings that contain a lot of detail, such as a topographical map of a large region, use a higher resolution setting for greater detail in the PDF file. As you increase the resolution setting, raster image quality increases, the speed of printing decreases, and memory requirements increase.
Color and Grayscale Resolution
Sets the resolution for raster image colors and grayscale in the PDF file in dots per inch. The default setting is 400 dpi. This setting cannot exceed the current vector resolution setting.
Custom Color and Grayscale Resolution
Specifies a custom resolution for color and grayscale raster images in the PDF file in dots per inch. You must select Custom under Color and Grayscale Resolution to specify a custom color resolution. The default setting is 200 dpi. This setting cannot exceed the current vector resolution setting.
Sets the resolution for black and white raster images in the PDF file in dots per inch. The default setting is 400 dpi. This setting cannot exceed the current vector resolution setting.
Custom Black and White Resolution
Specifies a custom resolution for black and white raster images for the PDF file in dots per inch. You must select Custom under Black and White Resolution to specify a custom black and white resolution. The default setting is 400 dpi. This setting cannot exceed the current vector resolution setting.
