In InDesign, Print to pdf with Adobe PDF printer, generates low dpi pdf

In so many attempts to print my booklet to pdf with Adobe PDF printer, with almost all presets, I get same low DPI result - I attach a sample project in saved in my InDesign and its printed-to-pdf files as well.

 

*** Download Project File

 

I had to export to JPG a main project because of some transparency flattening problems, then to make a booklet pdf for print provider, I've found that all exported- and then placed 300dpi JPGs exported as low quality raster images - maybe 100 or 72 dpi. Changed to almost all Adobe PDF printer presets, but still same low quality result.

 

Don't know where I went wrong.

    Problem solved by using Distiller:

    1. file menu -> print to booklet -> print settings -> select print to postscript file -> and then print booklet

    2. open Distiller -> select a hi res pdf preset -> open generated .ps file -> then Distiller converts it to pdf
