This dilemma that we seem to be having around here about Hi-Res PDFs?
We build an ad with a hires image placed in it. We export it out as a PDF using Press settings in Distiller.
Everything should be hires right?
But when we open the image up in Acrobat or Reader and select it, the image shows up greatly reduced in resolution in Photoshop.
Our only guess is that Distiller reads the image in Quark at the percentage it's placed. And the final out of the image is affected.
Has anyone dealt with this? Does anyone have any suggestions for settings to help this problem?
thanks,
bB

we always use certified PDFs for print, made with a piece of Enfocus software.
http://www.certifiedpdf.net/never had any problems with it.

what are you trying to do?
it depends on the settings you used when you made a ps file and distilled it, pdf's are optimized according to the sizes it needs to be, thats why the file size is reduced...

Your images all need to be 300 dpi at 100% in quark or higher. Then you can customize "print" in distiller to be sure that the res is correct.

I've been loving the ease of creating print ready pdfs in InDesign

Not quite sure what you mean. If you open a PDF in photoshop it will prompt you to specify a resolution... thus rendering it meaningless to open it in photoshop in the first instance.
