Hi Peppo, thanks for your help! It was not the solution I was looking for in the beginning but finally it worked. :) I was hoping that I only needed to change a couple of parameters in my customization layer.
Now, I played around with the size of my images and made them all as wide as my page is and then they don't get scaled anymore (as suggested in 1.). Changing dpi made the quality acceptable. Thanks again and have a nice weekend, Sebastian On Thu, Jan 13, 2011 at 4:56 PM, Giuseppe Bonelli <[email protected]>wrote: > On Thu, Jan 13, 2011 at 3:31 PM, Sebastian Kaiser > <[email protected]> wrote: > > > -> My problem, on the other hand, is that all images are stretched to > page > > width, no matter if they have the size of a stamp or a telephone. > > That does not seem to be a "dots per inch problem" because all images > then > > should vary in size by the same factor, right? > > Hi Sebastian, > I routinely produce complex pdf for print full of images from DB and I > do not have any scaling issues.
