<p class="MsoPlainText">Hi,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">I’m writing today to query others about
the
Standard versus High Quality Print options under the PDF Setup
in Adobe
FrameMaker and Distiller.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">The various PDF job options are being
evaluated
internally. In particular (and what I’m asking about now), in
PDF Setup
–> Settings –> PDF Job Options, some use
“Standard,” while others use “High Quality Print” (same
setting in Distiller). Based on what I have been told, there
is no reason
(benefit) to using High Quality Print (versus Standard) even
in docs that use
more screenshots and/or pictures, and my understanding is that
High Quality
Print results in a larger file size. (I have been using High
Quality Print for
years.) <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">My question is whether using Standard
(instead of High
Quality Print) results in any detrimental effect.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">For reference, here is some information
from Adobe:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">Standard<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">• For desktop printers or digital
copiers,
published on CD or sent to client as publishing proof • Uses
compression/downsampling to reduce file size • Embeds subsets
of fonts,
converts colors to sRGB, prints medium resolution, windows
font subsets not
embedded by default • Opened in Acrobat and Reader 6.0 and
later High
Quality Print • Quality printing on desktop printers and
proofing devices
• Downsamples color and grayscale images to 300ppi and
monochrome to
1200ppi • Embeds subsets of fonts, leaves colors unchanged,
does not
flatted transparency • Opened in Acrobat and Reader 5.0 and
later<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">For what it’s worth, I am using Adobe
FrameMaker 9
and 10 and Distiller 8.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">Any feedback on what others have found
while using High
Quality Print versus Standard would be greatly appreciated. <o:p></o:p></p>

This is a very old presentation by the most informed PDF guru I've
ever encountered; I think the tables that begin on page 68 are still
valid, though:<br>
