How can I retain the high resolution of images saved in a PDF?

I'm using the trial version of Acrobat XI. The images are 1440dpi but always save ate 120dpi. The PDF is for the content of a picture book so I need to be able to save them at a minimum of 300dpi. Any help would be very much appreciated.

    I found out that this is the best course of action:

    Print the document (Word or any other original document) as an Adobe PDF file before adding any images.

    Then, open the newly generated PDF file in Adobe PRO or similar PDF editing program.

    In the editing program, import the images from your computer to their proper places in the document.

    (In Adobe Pro, choose "edit PDF" and then "Add images".)

    These images, if high-resolution, will retain their high resolution.

      Something to try -

      In Acrobat's preferences select "Convert to PDF". Select the incoming image format. Use the "Edit" button to play with the configuration options.

      As well, consider giving any Distiller job options in use a look-see. Look over the configuration  for "Images".

      Be well...

      Many thanks for your reply CtDave

      Unfortunately I can't find anything useful in Preferences >Convert to PDF >JPEG >Edit Settings

      There are settings in Distiller that look more useful, but it appears that before they can be applied the Acrobat file has to be saved. It seems possible that it needs to be saved as a PostScript file and then converted to a PDF in Distiller, but this doesn't make any difference the way that I've (probably wrongly!) done this

      .. I've changed the image in Acrobat and saved the file as .ps, but when I open the .ps file in Distiller with the new settings (Downsample Color Images: Bicubic Downsampling to 1400 pixels per inch for imahes above 1400 pixels per inch) and convert it to .pdf I find that the image is still reduced to 120dpi

      If you are printing to the Adobe PDF printer or using Distiller, select the job settings of either print or press. They will save graphics at a higher resolution. The default for color images in the Standard settings is 150 dpi. Press and Print default at 300 dpi. You can change there settings to a new settings file and increase the resolution if you desire.
