You're right @BobLevine -- the dimensions of the photo are quite small, and when Acrobat opens automatically from ID it presents it full size on my cinema display which probably is the culprit of making me jump out of my seat. I've been testing this am with various photos, at larger photo box dimensions and it appears ok. But like others have said, disappearance of the app is a concern. Off to genius bar (aka, buy more devices I don't need while I wait) This is my first time here in my years as a user of any CC app, you all are so quick to respond and help out. I super appreciate it. Thank you.   Lisa. ... View more

Thank you all for your input. Answers to all questions below, with a portion of the PDF   Have always exported via InDesign for many years (ah I remember the Distiller days!) Links: all good ID 2023 v18.3 >>> Acrobat Pro v23.0 PDF Export settings: Press Quality (no modified settings) Main image: 300dpi / CMYK Main image box dimensions: 1.75" square at 43% reduction (I resized in PS per advice)   If you enlarge you'll see the quality of the photo. Troubleshooted with PDF/X-4 per @rob day  settings above. Same issue very bit-mappy / pixelated. Have never had this occur as an ID creator, so perplexed.    (Have also restarted - MacBook Pro 16-inch, 2021 fwiw.)   Thanks again, Lisa   ... View more
