import pdf 300dpi

[Annemiek]

hello,

When I export a pdf from MuseScore in 300dpi, imported in Affinity publisher, in the Resources-menu, it is 72 dpi. How can I keep it on 300 dpi?

thanks,

Isn't the MuseScore PDF all vectors and text? Thus Publisher dpi mixxup should not affect the resulting print. You can check it by zooming in if there are any pixels/lowres graphics visible.

That said, of course dpi value should stay 300 if it is set in original art. Maybe someone with MS can check how it works.

when I zoom in, I can see the lower quality of the graphics

when exported again from Affinity to pdf however, the quality is fine

so 2 thing:

1) in InDesign I could choose the quality of the file: higher quality, slower workflow

is that also possible in Publisher

2) is the 72 dpi as shown in Resources the real dpi or what it shows in the file-preview (am I making myself clear...??)

hello,

 

Still trying to figure out how to understand working with pdf 's in Publisher. From the MuseScore-Forum I got this answer:

"The DPIs in PDF export are only used for embeded images. The reast doesn#t have DPI being used as it is vectorized. No idea how Affinity Publisher gets to these 72DPI"

It's annoying that working on a file gives me the low quality of the pdf: all the music lay-out have shadows, for example. When I export the Publisher-file to a new pdf, it looks fine: no bad quality of the music lay-out. I just do not understand what I miss here. I really would like to see high quality pdf in Publisher, to be able to work very precise.

Hope somebody can help me know what to do. 

 

Thank you
