I have responded time and time again to this issue. I am posting this again so that it goes into the mailing list archives.
Images do not have a DPI. Period. Images are made of Pixels. You make your DPI when you scale an image in a document. A 300x300 pixel image is 300DPI when sized to 1 inch x 1 inch. A 300x300 pixel image is 100DPI when sized to 3 inch x 3 inch. A 3 inch x 3 inch placement will need to be a 900 x 900 pixel image To have 300DPI. Pixels / inches = DPI. It really is that simple. -Bill Ensley www.bearprinting.com > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On > Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Monday, April 14, 2008 12:59 PM > To: Post all your questions about iText here > Subject: Re: [iText-questions] Saving images at greater than 72dpi > > -------------- Original message ---------------------- > From: Dominic Maricic <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > > > It seems there is more to this. > > There is, indeed!
