The fact that the different export settings had no effect is really making me think it has more to do with your PDF viewer and your screen more than the file itself...when you use JPEGs and run those compression settings, it reframes the image to the DPI in the preset. So the fact that you don't see a difference between Standard and Press Quality makes me think that neither the image nor Illustrator are the problem. | |

I should also mention that when placing the .jpgs in Illustrator they were much smaller. Just tried placing .psd, same results(including small "place" size in Illustrator) | |
| Sep 29, 2012 at 21:52 | comment | added | Brendan | Also, did the images in the final PDF look blurry on screen or on paper? I've had troubles before with getting images to look good in Acrobat just because you can make it perfect at 100% then the user opens up at 132%, y'know? | |
| Sep 29, 2012 at 21:48 | comment | added | Brendan | Did you try a format other than JPEG? How does a placed PSD of the original look? | |
| Sep 29, 2012 at 21:48 | comment | added | Brendan | Okay, just didn't want to assume anything. Sometimes when you export to JPEG it changes the DPI to 72 and then when you place it in Illustrator the image is bigger than it should be. | |
| Sep 29, 2012 at 21:44 | comment | added | AMC | Resolution is 300 dpi for all three images, all 170x100 pixels which is also the size they are being used at in Illustrator. I also tried saving the images 2x and 3x the size, noticed no changes. | |
| Sep 29, 2012 at 21:33 | comment | added | Brendan | What is the pixel resolution of the image, and what dimensions (if you can tell me in inches that'd be great) are the image occupying in Illustrator? | |
