Turning the resolution down means a lower resolution in the output-file.
That is not what I want, in full colour it should be nearby 300 dpi.
The bitmap on screen, the proxy, has a very low resolution and that is
enough as a guide.
Let me give an example: I place a jpeg (1475 x 2000, 250 dpi) in
Artworks in a A5-sheet. It gives a resolution of 90 dpi. The Artworksfile
is 874 kb. Export to pdf gives a file of 1,1 mb. Importing this file 100%
in Ovation in a A5-page and saving this document gives a file of ... 75 mb.
Even exporting from Artworks as a 300 dpi tiff gives only 12 mb.
Producing our A3 newspapers, where importing and placing different pdf-files
on one page is essential, is hard to handle with such great files.
thanks,
