Improve the quality of printed iPhoto books
Authored by: MAC-Gyver on Jul 20, '05 12:03:58PM

I created my book, and compiled it in iPhoto after using Pref Setter to change the dpi from 150 to 300 (as the original entry here states). But before buying it, I did the old Print/Save as PDF trick and the file is only 19MB... does that sound right? I'm pretty sure it should be a much bigger file...

Or is there a different process when uploading it for Apple?

It's impossible to comment about the size of your book not knowing if it has 20 or 100 pages (and images) etc.

I could be wrong, but I think Print/Save as PDF compresses images pretty heavily, and it might even resize them to 72dpi to optimize for viewing on-screen. That would explain the small .pdf file.

Someone with a full version of Acrobat could probably verify that.
