Help with resizing

Question

Hi - strange problem here. Have basically used fw to create a
new ad for my company. As this is to be reproduced in a newspapaer
I need to ensure that the size is completely accurate. Also need to
convert to pdf (using adobe online). My problem is that when I am
trying to resize the image by changing the print size it is not
allowing me to enter the value I want. The png is currently around
400px width and the print size is showing as less than 1cm - when I
am trying to change to a print size of 11 cm its not allowing me to
do this. Is ther any reason for this ? Or is there any better way
to resize?
Thanks in advance for looking at this post and replying.

Answer 1

you should be using a print based app like freehand or
illustrator
instead ;)
