I’m encountering an issue with publishing PDFs using VBA. Despite having bitmaps in CorelDRAW with lower resolutions, the published PDF is converting all bitmaps to a higher resolution. How can I resolve this problem?
With ActiveDocument.PDFSettings .PublishRange = 1 ' CdrPDFVBA.pdfCurrentPage .PageRange = "1" .Author = "CorelDraw" .Subject = "" .Keywords = "" .BitmapCompression = 2 ' CdrPDFVBA.pdfJPEG .JPEGQualityFactor = 2 .TextAsCurves = True .EmbedFonts = True .EmbedBaseFonts = True .TrueTypeToType1 = True .SubsetFonts = True .SubsetPct = 80 .CompressText = True .Encoding = 1 ' CdrPDFVBA.pdfBinary .DownsampleColor = True .DownsampleGray = True .DownsampleMono = True .ColorResolution = 1200 'Resolution .MonoResolution = 2400 'Resolution * 2 .GrayResolution = 1200 ' Resolution .Hyperlinks = False .Bookmarks = False .Thumbnails = False .Startup = 0 ' CdrPDFVBA.pdfPageOnly .ComplexFillsAsBitmaps = False .Overprints = True .Halftones = False .MaintainOPILinks = False .FountainSteps = 999 .EPSAs = 0 ' CdrPDFVBA.pdfPostscript .pdfVersion = 0 ' CdrPDFVBA.pdfVersion12 .IncludeBleed = False .Bleed = 31750 .Linearize = False .CropMarks = False .RegistrationMarks = False .DensitometerScales = False .FileInformation = False .ColorMode = ColorSpace ' CdrPDFVBA.pdfNative '.UseColorProfile = True .ColorProfile = 1 ' CdrPDFVBA.pdfSeparationProfile .EmbedFilename = FileNameText.text '"" .EmbedFile = False .JP2QualityFactor = 2 .TextExportMode = 0 ' CdrPDFVBA.pdfTextAsUnicode .PrintPermissions = 0 ' CdrPDFVBA.pdfPrintPermissionNone .EditPermissions = 0 ' CdrPDFVBA.pdfEditPermissionNone .ContentCopyingAllowed = False .OpenPassword = "" .PermissionPassword = "" .EncryptType = 2 ' CdrPDFVBA.pdfEncryptTypeAES .OutputSpotColorsAs = OutputSpace ' CdrPDFVBA.pdfSpotAsSpot .OverprintBlackLimit = 100 .ProtectedTextAsCurves = True End With
understand these parameters and correct them to the ones you need
.ColorResolution = 1200 'Resolution.MonoResolution = 2400 'Resolution * 2.GrayResolution = 1200 ' Resolution
This is the DPI for color, gray and monochrome rasters
I understand it.
Those were defined for downsampling purposes but not for resampling purposes. Downsampling means if the image resolution is greater than "Resolution" then downsample to the resolution else unchanged.
