Re: creating printable high res PDF 2400dpi
Thanks, for the first i'll have a look what we need for printing and than see how to solve possible problems in fop if there are..

creating printable high res PDF 2400dpi
Hi, i've a short question. I'll be asked if fop can generate a high res -> 2400dpi PDF for offset printing... I've see the set Res Method in the trunk, but does it work? I don't know waht makes a high res PDF to a high res PDF, only the res of the images, or the lines of a table, or is there a different in the font res? does someone have a clue about that?
