How do you change the dpi of a pdf?

I'm really confused as to how to change my dpi to 300. I'm not even really sure how I can check what it is?
Thanks!

The question is very vague, perhaps a little wrong of way to ask on how to do this way. But, there are different PDF settings, depending on specific output you want it to be outputted as PDF file.
Frank is correct about imbedded graphic (or photo files) with specific DPI setting, then import it into PDF file.
However, you didn't say which PDF generator you are outputting it to from? Plus, you didn't say what kind of PDF output you want it to be set up? So I don't know what to say unless I know the specific information you are looking for. Because PDF topic is a very broad topic. As PDF technology evolves, so is its option varies.
Cheers, Brian

    How do you change the dpi settings in iPhoto

    Short answer: the dpi is set when you decide what size you're printing at.
    Long Answer: Dpi means nothing in the digital world of your computer. There are no "inches" to have "dots per..." Size is measured in pixels. That's the same on your camera. It doesn't take 10 x 8 or 6 x 4 shots. It takes shots measured in megapixels. For instance 4,000 x 3,000 is a 12 megapixel camera.
    Using that example, that shot from that camera has 12 million pixels. So that's how many "Dots" there are. To decide the ratio of dots per inch, you now need to decide the "inches" part. And that's printing.  Print at 10 x 8 and the dpi will be 4,000/10 or about 400 dpi. At 6 x 4 then it's 4,000/6 or 660 dpi. Work the other way: Print at 300 dpi and the resulting image will be about 13 inches on the longer side.
    So, your photo as a fixed number of pixels. Changing the dimensions of the print will vary the dpi, changing the dpi will vary the dimensions of the print.

  • How do you change the dpi in Illustrator and save as pdf?

    I've created a file in Illustrator cs4 that I need to change the 350 dpi of and to save as a pdf before having it sent out to be printed. I've found ways to change the ppi...but will that do the same thing as changing the dpi? Any advice would be much appreciated!

    This might explain it
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/370714
    The device has the dpi not the file itself the file has a ppi resolution the screens are prepared in lpi.
    The above explains it the highest resolution I have ever been asked for was 350 ppi for offset printing 300ppi is normal.
    In other word you do not control the dpi as Steve mentions.

  • How do you change the dpi on photos?

    I am writing a book and inserting old photos into it.   These photos were scanned by people and sent by e-mail.   I need to change the dpi on the photos to 300 dpi for printing purposes.   I have just bought Lightroom, so I don't know a lot yet.   But, my first project is changing the dpi of these photos and inserting them into my book.   Thank you.

    Actually, you don't need to change the resolution (which is PPI, not DPI), and anyway, you can't do this unnecessary thing in Lightroom. You do need to have enough pixels in the image to print at the desired size. So, for example, if the book calls for a 4x6 space to be filled with your photo, then you would need a photo that is 1200x1800 pixels (or larger). If your book requires the photos outside of Lightroom, then you would Export the photo (if necessary, enlarged) to the desired number of pixels, as in the example.
    I have just bought Lightroom, so I don't know a lot yet.   But, my first project is changing the dpi of these photos and inserting them into my book.
    So based on the fact that this is an unnecessary task, and that Lightroom won't do this anyway, your first project is now completed.

  • How do you change the quality of imported PDFs?

    I have been creating fillable forms in LiveCycle ES2, using my companies existing PDFs, importing them as fixed images, and adding form elements on top. When I have been looking back at what LiveCycle is producing in terms of quality, versus the PDFs I initially import in Acrobat, the quality is substantially worse in LiveCycle, and any PDFs that I import into and save from LiveCycle look to be a much lower quality. The images of our forms I am importing into Acrobat are 250dpi, 8.5x11. They look crisp and clean in Acrobat. When they are imported, the text looks more grainy when zoomed in, and the logos have jagged edges. I read that LiveCycle, by default, imports PDFs as a medium quality JPG. First, is there any way around this? I can't find an option anywhere to change the quality. If not, is there a workaround that would allow me to accomplish my goals?
    I created a new, blank form in LiveCycle, added an image, and set it as the image of my PDF form. The quality is significantly better, however, the hierarchy is substantially different than when importing a fixed PDF, and I will lose my OCR recognized text from my original PDF.

    Kyle,
    Thanks for your response. To be clear, the way I am importing the PDF is by going to New in LiveCycle, and selecting Import a PDF document, and selecting Create and Interactive Form with Fixed Pages.
    I cannot change the forms or pages, as they are created by our local Board. In otherwords, I have tryed used the flowable content, and upon import, not only are the fonts slightly different, but all the important artwork (trade-related) is gone, and is not in the exact positions it was in. The forms must meet the standards to which they were approved by the regional board, and there are state-mandated forms as well.
    What surprises me is that you say this method of Fixed Content isn't used much any more. I would think that a lot of people would have PDF files they would wish to make into fillable, interactive forms without needing to reconstruct the entire document. Perhaps a company that has always done things on paper, and now wishes to use those exact same forms on the computer, with no deviations to looks so they can be printed and match up perfectly.
    I thought about using Acrobat's internal form creation system. However, some of these forms have sophisticated options and the calculation scripts and systems within LiveCycle are very useful. Not to mention that it has a much larger scalability, should we chose to utilize it.
    Any other suggestions? I am so confused why Adobe would force medium-quality import of a PDF, but be so incredibly flexible about every other option in their program.

    How do you change the Apple ID for my iPhone 4. I am able to access my iTunes account using my new ID and password on my computer; however, my iphone has a different Apple ID and I do not have cannot access iTunes on this phone. 

    Also, if you have iCloud, you will probably also want to change the iCloud account on the phone to be yours:
    Settings>iCloud - if Account is not yours, go to the bottom and Delete Account. Then sign back on with your iCloud account info.

  • How do you change the pink highlight for the present day in calendar when in week view

    How do you change the pink highlight for the present day in calendar when in week view - OSX Maverick

    the current day was light blue in ical in 10.6 but with plenty of contrast, but I recently made the bigger leap all the way to calendar in 10.9. the choice of color is terrible for reasons such as Spile1962 puts below, but also not having any way to tweak it is terrible. I'm on a bran d new imac and can barely see a difference and frankly, while I appreciate the subtlety, I still forget to look for the darker bar across the top of the current week and day. we should be able to adjust weekend and current day bg colors.
    I went into the app's package contents in hopes that they were using a tiff/png file that I could tweak on my own but couldn't find anything for them. all the icons are there, as are the bg sets for all the little pop-ups and things, but I couldn't even find a reference to a hex color in the plist file.
    send apple feedback. I just did myself, except that Calendar hasn't made the list (yet?), only iCal up to version 4.x, and Messages is still only iChat for feedback, and some others are old as well. apparently after steve died, apple's attention to these details just died with him. it's been that long since those other apps should have been relevant on their site.

  • How do you change the color of events on ICal.

    How do you changed the color of events on ICal? I was able to do this when I utilized ICal on the Snow Leopard system but can no longer do this with Lion.
    I know that I can select the Calanders list, but when I create a new "Calander" it doesn't allow me to choose a color and it doesn't show up in my list when working within an event.
    Thanks!

    Phoebe,
    Right-click on the new calendar and select "Get Info."
    Make sure that the ✓ mark is selected.
    Then choose the color from this pane:

  • How do you change the default size of the print batch size for mail merge in Publisher 2010?

    I appended this question to another thread with the same topic but have not received a reply, so I'll try with a new question. Publisher 2010, when doing mail merge, will only merge and print two records at a time. How do you change the default size of
    the print batch size? This is for a 4 page document, 8 1/2 x 11, printed two sides on 11 x 17. I've tried all the suggestions that were in the other thread. The response that was marked as the answer by the moderator is incorrect and does not work. Nothing
    suggested in that thread works. A registry fix that worked for Publisher 2003 won't work because the print batch size key does not exist in the registry for Pub 2010. At least not that I can find. Printing to an XPS document doesn't work. It asks for a filename,
    prints 2 records, asks for new file name, prints 2 records, asks for new file name, and so on. The same for printing to a PDF document. Merging to a new Pub document doesn't work. When I print that job every other sheet is turned over. I.e., sheet one has
    pages 1 & 3 on top, next sheet has 3 & 4 on top, and so on. This makes it impossible to run them through the folder. The same thing happens when I print that complete merged document to XPS or PDF. I have the latest drivers installed for our printer, a Toshiba
    2500C copier/printer connected via network. What do I need to do to to change the batch size to something reasonable, like 100 records?

    It's been two weeks since I posted this question. What does it take to get an answer? I cannot believe it's being ignored, nor can I believe that someone in MS doesn't have an answer.
