Hi all, I am relatively new to CorelDraw. My first major project using the software was designing a new brochure for the museum where I work. (I am not a graphic designer/artists...it is just a many hat organization.) We have CorelDraw and I've been slowly learning how to use it. I seem to be having a problem upon exporting the file to a PDF, which is very image heavy. All of the images in the file are at least 300 DPI if not much, much larger. However, when I export to PDF the image resolutions are very low. When I sent it to the printer (who does not accept CorelDraw files so it has to be PDF) they remarked upon the low resolution and you can tell the quality is terrible on the proof. When I print a copy of the brochure on just our color printer at work (same size as the brochure...it is not larger) the images are completely fine. What am I doing incorrectly?
Foster and Steve,
Thank you so much for your very quick replies. I was out of the office and just received them today. :-) I tried the PDF/X-3 preset and that did seem to make the resolution much higher. I sent it off to the printer that way and I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Thanks for your advice. I checked out your training DVDs Foster and I've added them to my Christmas list. Fingers crossed! :-)
