Acrobat Distiller Settings for Images

[Joseph]

Hi Dov,

Couple questions for you. Which type of downsampling: bicubic or average?
For JPEG200 do you have a recommend tile size?

Lastly, is the fact that I am mostly using PNG graphics that are going to be
displayed on the screen affect how you would set this up?

Thanks,
Joe
