Image resolution when creating pdf

[edwardw95421952]

Hello,

I have a question about maintaining image resolution when creating a new pdf. I created an image using paint dot net and set the resolution at 300 dots per inch. Then I saved the image as a pdf. When I again open the image in the same image editing software by taking a snap shot in the pdf and pasting into the software, the image resolution is only 96 dots per inch.

My question is, "Why does that happen?"

I am trying to create high resolution images for upload to an online market place and sell. If the images do not maintain their high resolution, then they are basically worthless.

So I guess a better question would be; How do I save an image as a pdf and maintain the same resolution as the image that was first created?

Any help in this mater would be extremely appreciated.

Thank you,

Edward

Why are you taking a snapshot of an image that you have the original for? Of course that taking an image of an image will result in decreased quality. Just use the original.

The reason I am not using the original is because there are unscrupulous people who would use my original image, if bought, as their own image and re-sell it as their own. Not everyone knows how to extract an image from a pdf. Its recommended by people in the industry to upload a pdf instead of a jpg or png to the online platform.

I spent time and energy creating my original images and I don't want to be ripped off by unscrupulous people.

Maybe this isn't the right place to get answers to my questions when all I get in return is a question that doesn't have anything to do with the answer.

Thank you for your response all the same try67.

Your question didn't make much sense, to be honest. You're asking about how to create a PDF with a high-resolution image, but you're describing a different process (taking a screenshot of an image from a PDF and saving it as a new image)... Maybe you should clarify what exactly you want to know.

PS. If someone is "unscrupulous" enough to want to steal your image they will probably figure out how to do it from a PDF file. It's very easy to do if you have Acrobat.

The snapshot of Acrobat Reader creates images with low resolution.
