What is the optimal resolution for pdfs?

I have PDF downloads on my website and would appreciate some advice on the optimal quality of the files - bearing in mind visual quality & download speed.

"Smallest File Size" as seen in Acrobat Pro's Distiller.  That usually means 72ppi / 300dpi.

  • What's the "optimal" resolution for the Intel Mini's?

    I was wondering how high the resolution can go on the intel mini's before the OS X UI starts to lose it's "responsiveness". When I mean "responsivenss", I mean stuff like expose and Dashboard maintaing a smooth animation etc. Thanks.

    I'm more curious than anything, though I'm interested in an intel iBook when it comes out (likely to use an intel chipset for graphics.).
    I was just wonder how the UI experience felt, even at high resolutions. I know that the general consensus is that the intel base macs have a much more reponsive UI but I know that stuff like expose animations on the PPC Mini's can get a bit juddery on a high resolution.
    I don't run anything heavy like games but I like it when the UI feels like it's not on sandpaper.
    I just tried a new iMac at a local reseller. Everything seemed more responsive in general. Resizing was nearly rock solid even on complicated windows such as iTunes, minimizing was smooth (even with the 'genie' effect) but for some odd reason the expose and dashboard animations seemed a bit choppy to me. Which is a bit confounding since it seemed to do everything else well. Maybe it was because the iMac at the store was using monitor spanning with a cinema display. Intel sure improves the UI experence.
    The improvement is not compelling enough to get a new mini. The UI is decent on my current system. It's nice to see that Apple continues to improve the UI speed on the PPC side of things.
    I know that if I get a Intel iBook, resolution wouldn't matter becuase it would be fixed and relatively low. I was just curious if there was any UI performance degradation when resolutions go up.

  • What is the ideal resolution for photos when creating a photo book in iphoto?

    Can you tell me what is the ideal resolution for photos I use to create a photo book from my iphoto library? 

    The DPI depends on the size of the image to be printed by the image file.  A 639 x 960 image could print a 3.5  x  5 photo at 180 DPI.  This website explains it further: The Myth of DPI.  
    So use the smaller photos only in the smaller frames on multiple photo layouts for best results.

  • What is the best resolution for E540 Edge?

    Hi !
    Someone can tell me what is the best resolution for E540 windows 7? (The recomended is 1920x1080, But I don't like it...).
    any recommendations?
    Thanks

    1920x1080 but you have to enable Windows scaling features and set it to 125%
    In linux... well... don't use linux with full hd 15' displays for atleast 2 or 3 more years... hahaha theyr support for high resolutions is just... *rap...

  • What is the effective resolution for artwork in Keynote? I have a gigantic file I wnat to make smaller, and there are some problematical photos I want to downsize.

    What is the effective resolution for imported artwork/photos? I have to downsize a huge file.

    Change the pixel size of the images in a graphics application to match the pixel size of the presentation set in
    Inspector > Document > Slide Size  then bring them into Keynote.
    I use Stunt Software's Downsize specifically for this as it can batch process hundreds of files extremely fast:     Downsize

  • What is the best resolution for pics in the drop zones of idvd?

    What is the best resolution for pics in the drop zones of iDVD?
    Also: iDVD always seems to align a pic to the left, can I change this anywhere?
    thanks

    Hello, Hans.
    Re: drop zone pic resolution - I generally don't go below 1000 pixels wide (iDVD will resize these images to a slightly smaller format, but I've controlled the largest part of the downsizing in Photoshop Elements).
    The alignment in iDVD is goofy.  The best I've achieved is trial and error -- adding blank background or cropping my image in the downsizing process (see above) to position my image.

  • Adobe SendNow - What is the optimal size for custom logos?

    I just tried to upload a custom logo (800x200) and it seemed to be stuck up in the top left corner, with a large amount of blank white screen.
    What is the optimal size for this please, and how do I centre a smaller logo?
    It is of course entirely possible I will need to make one in PS - not a problem - but the right sizes would be helpful info please.
    Many Thanks

    That is what I read too - but when I uploaded one it got tucked up in the top left corner of the "custom" setup thumbnail.
    Perhaps it is just a glitch in that dialogue, but it certainly looked as if there was a raft of space to the right & underneath.
    Still, probably Pilot Error so I will recheck - thank you Dave.

  • What's the best resolution for album art?

    I have encountered some 500x500 album art images that don't fill the album art box, and some 200x200 album art image that do completely fill the box. So I assume that there's more to importing album art than just pixel counts.
    That leaves pixel density, or resolution. What should the proper resolution be for a 500x500 pixel album art image? Anything else I'm missing?
    Thanks. WeedMonkey

    72 pixels per inch is usually the default and I find this works reasonably well, although if you want high-detailed covers I'd go for something like 144 or even 200PPI. I get all of my album art from www.7digital.com and save the 350x350 images. I find they are just the right size for Cover Flow and on my iPod.

  • What is the max resolution for external monitors from the intel hd 4000 graphics driver

    What is the max resolution supported by the intel hd 4000 graphics driver found on the 13in MacBook Pro for EXTERNAL monitors?

    OK so after doing much research... this seems to be the best workflow.
    Bring HDV in to FCP as ProRes 422.
    Edit show... add bells and whistles, etc.
    Export movie as ProRes 422.
    Then for the client - ensure that they have latest version of Quicktime and download the Apple ProRes Quicktime Decoder (for mac or Windows). (It is assumed they have a decent computer to play back on.)
    The client will then be able to play a movie encoded as proRes 422 and all will be happy.
    As a back up a high resolution h264 file can't hurt.
    Thanks for everyones input. We got there in the end.

  • What are the optimal values for mac and arp timeout values

    Hi Guys.
    What are the best values for "mac address-table aging-time" and "arp timeout" by following scenarios?:
    - single sg300-10 as layer3-switch with a maximum of 10 local (direct connected) hosts
    - and a 3750x-stack with 100 local hosts + hsrp with a other stack of the same sort
    or for asa 5520 as internet gateway for 500 clients?
    I use at the moment a mac aging-time from 300 seconds and a arp timeout from 3600 seconds.
    Is this o.k.?
    Thanks.

    Marvel.
    As far as enhancing the CLI, it will of course be enhanced when new firmware releases provide new features. As far as making it more IOS-like, best to my knowledge, no.  The only other supported CLI on the SB switches are on the SX500 series and SX200E series which the CLI are all consistent. If you bought a SX500 series the commands are nearly identical minus the different feature sets.

  • What is the maximum resolution for an external monitor for a 13" BMP

    I have a new MBP 13 and a new Samsung LED 23" monitor that is spec'd at 1920x1080 resolution. However the maximum resolution I can get (using Display) for the external monitor is 1600x900 (or 1600x1200 stretched). What could be causing this limitation?

    Are you guys able to resolve the issue with the Samsung HDTV LCD monitor? I just bought the Samsung B2230HD but having some image issue. I am connecting to the LCD from my macbook pro using Mini Display Port -> DVI -> HDMI but the image on the LCD is very grainy where the text is not sharp at all. The mac is able to detect the correct resolution of 1920x1080 though

  • What is the best resolution for adding and viewing pictures/images in ibooks?

    I'm trying to add pictures/images and I was wondering what the best resolution is for viewing?  Any help would be great.

    iBook Author seems to scale the images automagically during the book generation, so targeting iPad's native resolution should be fine.
    Havign said that, I'm currently creating art based on the assumption the next generation of the device will have double resolution screen, so a photograph should be scaled to 2048x1536 pixels if you want it to be full screen at 1:1 pixel mapping.
    If you're creating widgets, the art (probably) won't be scaled, and you'll need to use the pixel dimensions you want the art to appear on screen.

  • What is the Best Resolution for TV?

    Hi,
    I have been putting movies I've created via Final Cut / iMovie onto my TV. I'm using VideoMonkey to convert the files to MP4 format. I want to create the highest resolution possible and space/file size is no concern. But I don't want to create a resolution that is too high for TV.
    VideoMonkey's default format for TV is 1024x720 @ 24fps H.264 Video. But I can set the quality to low, standard or high. And encoding options are from fast to high quality (2 pass). I can set everything to the best but I want to make sure the TV can even utilize it.
    I can create these movies as high as 1080p that is 4GB. But again, is it worth creating that file size so large if TV can only play an HD 720 version?
    I hope this is clear.
    Thanks!

    for the original appletv you should be looking at either 1280x720 @ 24pfs or 960x540 @ 30fps.
    the adverised bitrate limitation for the original appletv is 5000kbit/s.

  • What's the optimal output for web?

    i have quicktime Pro - i'm trying to extract video footage from a dv file (my cinematographer's reel) and post it on my website. is MPEG4 the best i can do? and if so, how do i optimize that? if the footage was shot in dv - do i set it at 29 frames in the export Options? what about "key frames" - do i set that at 24 (default) or some other number? looking to get a decent movie file that doesn't look like rubic's cube w/ all the pixel squares.
    Thanks!

    Thanks Jon,
    just a few questions to your reply:
    H.264 would provide
    better quality at given data rate and scales much
    better but requires QT 7 for both you and your
    viewers.
    Do most people have QT 7 at this point or is it best to post the movie in the most accessible format and sacrifice some rez? My H.264 is greyed out - perhaps because i'm not using HD footage? any idea?
    Optimization
    depends on many things such as target encode display
    dimensions, amount of storage space/bandwith
    available, and even the actual content itself. Since
    you have not indicated your goals here, it is
    difficult to provide concrete guidelines.
    i'm not that technically advanced to know the answer to this. i'm basically posting this to iWeb - i have maybe half a gig of storage on my website so i don't have to be that frugal. just want something to be decent quality but probably no more than 20 MB
    In the absence of other,
    overriding needs, it is generally best to set the
    frame rate to "current."
    what about "key
    frames" - do i set that at 24 (default) or some other
    number?Key frame rate is
    dependent on the content. Rapid motion, transitions,
    and the like require more key frames while slow
    motion, non-changing scenes require fewer. Generally
    speaking it may be best to use the "Automatic"
    setting for "average" videos. This setting applies
    the basic "Rule of Five" or a frame rate equal to
    five time the frame rate. The advantage here is, if
    there is a large inter-frame change in data, QT will
    insert extra frames as/if needed. Basically, the more
    key frames, the better the quality but larger the
    file size or greater the compression between frames.
    that makes sense. i don't have any slow motion so i'd like to make it look
    as smooth as possible.
    Thanks,
    STeve
    looking to get a
    decent movie file that doesn't look like rubic's cube
    w/ all the pixel
    squares.Pixilation can still
    occur with MPEG-4 when target compression is too high
    (i.e., the data rate drops too low for the encode
    display dimensions and content). This is one of the
    ares where H.264 really stands out. It can usually
    produce fairly good HD 720p (1280 x 720 progressive
    main profile) quality at even iPod "LC" compatible
    data rates.
