I created a PDF from some jpg files, but the resulting PDF had a lower resolution than the jpg files, and were a bit blurry. Any way to increase the resulution in the resultant PDF files that I make in the future?

Thank you!

As you can see on this screengrab, Acrobat Pro always leave imported JPEGs untouched (options are greyed out), so the issue is elsewhere.

You say the issue is elsewhere. Do you have anywhere I might start to look for a solution? I am working with art drawings and they need to be of reasonable quality. What I am getting looks like crap. (pardon my french)

The .jpg's look fine, but when I combine or convert them to a .pdf, they look sick.

Would appreciate any direction.

Thank you

JPEG is completely unsuitable for art drawings. Use it only for photos. (That's what the P in JPEG stands for). Converting to JPEG does damage that cannot be undone (but it can get worse).

If you have Photoshop, save a PDF directly from your scans.

How have you created the PDF file? Acrobat Reader can't create PDF files.

Thanks for your reply.

What I have is 2 .jpg files that I want to combine into a single PDF file. So, I use Adobe Acrobat to Combine the two .jpg files. The problem is that the resultant PDF file displays the two pages but they are of much lower resolution than the original .jpg files. Maybe there is a setting that I am not using?

Thanks
