Whythahell would anyone convert a nice compact and effectively infinite resolution vector file into raster? The file size blows up to something huge and the resolution is then fixed at whatever DPI was chosen. If the file needs to be rasterized for printing then the proper place for that to be done is in the printer driver. Presumably the printer driver writer knew how to optimize the conversion for his hardware. > >I hear there is a public-domain PDF writer for windows that's even better >than Acrobat. Not even close, at least for the several that I've tried. Ditto a couple of commercial ones. I despise Adobe the company and dislike the clunky and overpriced Acrobat software but to generate nice compact 100% compliant pdfs, it's the only way to go. Please keep these files in vector format, if for not other reason that it bad karma to throw away information needlessly, which is what vector/raster conversion does.
