Hi everyone,

I know it's a bit cheeky only having just joined and everything, but was needing a hand with optimising my PDF compression for sending adverts to mag publishers. for newsprint my settings seem to be fine (as colour run tends to hide artifacts well), but when it comes to glossies sometimes they look a bit jaggy. We try to keep the filesize down because we email copy, but if any of you could put me right I would be most grateful!

Current settings are:

Adobe 5.0 (PDF 1.4) Compatibility

Res: 600 DPI

and my images are downscaled to 300 if over 450ppi (both colour and G/S) with the image quality as jpeg medium.

Are there any better settings?

Oh, and hello everyone by the way!
