[_Ernesto_]

Hi everyone thanks for read this.
I want to see in my adobe acrobat professional, how many DPI resolution have a file, because my boss want all the files with a standard resolution, anyone have idea to get that information, i saw the preflight but i didnt see how get the report of that, thanks

It won't let you know how many "dpi" (Technically it's "ppi" until you print it) but in pre-flight, you can check to see all images meet a certain minimum requirement (like 300ppi).

Will that work?

Create a Profile where you search for all images with more than zero resolution. The profile results will return all image resolutions.

What I'd also like is a profile that tells you the name of the embedded image. Acrobat should be able to do this because years ago, PitStop, would do this very nicely. But I'm not going to shell out the big bucks for PitStop for this one feature.

I didnt find any proporties to give the dpi/ppi in the preflight all i saw is images below of 150 dpi, but if i have an image of 300 dpi, and the property is below of 150 or 200 or 300 600 or 1000 my image enter in all that categories or i was wrong, i exectued the report of 150 or 200 and told me its correct and pass the test, thanks for your time

Go to Advanced>Preflight>Options>Edit Preflight profile.

Go to the little square with the plus sign on the bottom of the dialog box and click it to create a new profile.

Above that little square you will see "New Profile 1" where you can choose a bunch of parameters. Go to Images. Choose "Resolution of color and gray scale images is...higher than zero". Do same for bit map images.

Give your profile a name and you are done.
