Hello.  I am trying to PDF my portfolio.  All the images are clear/crisp while viewing them in the program and then I go to PDF and all the images in the PDF are blurry.  I have tried multiple settings with no luck.  Thanks for your help!

What settings?

Images are downsampled/compressed according to the compression setting on Export.

Post a screen shot of examples, and what settings you used.

Brad - attached are screenshots of when I print in high quality and also when printing on smallest file size.  Both are blurry (the smallest file size is unreadable...).  I also attached a snip of the screen indesign showing the all the images are clear and the PPI of the bottom right image is acceptable. Thanks for your help.

What do you mean print? What is the effective PPI of those images?
