Last I checked, UMI PDFs of dissertations were graphics of scans of the printed page, not produced from the text of the document. Even if they *were* produced from the printed document, specifying dpi of source graphics is not something any institution would be doing, any more than they would be restricting Ph.D. candidates to using MS Word to produce their dissertations. Now, it may be that some institutions have helpful hints on this, but the idea of a requirement or standard is to me ludicrous. -- David W.
