david.atwell Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Well, if you need PDF, you're barking up the wrong tree. Paint.NET cannot as yet save as a PDF. As for resolution...well, that's up to you. You'll want it to be at least 100dpi. But the printing standard is 300dpi. (By comparison, screen resolution is 72dpi) How big are the posters going to be? How far away? How clear do they need to be? The bigger and smaller they are, the higher the dpi needs to get. Fair warning, Paint.NET is not designed for print work. You are going to have some HUGE files. :-) Quote The Doctor: There was a goblin, or a trickster, or a warrior... A nameless, terrible thing, soaked in the blood of a billion galaxies. The most feared being in all the cosmos. And nothing could stop it, or hold it, or reason with it. One day it would just drop out of the sky and tear down your world.Amy: But how did it end up in there?The Doctor: You know fairy tales. A good wizard tricked it.River Song: I hate good wizards in fairy tales; they always turn out to be him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ego Eram Reputo Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 As David says, PDN can't save your file as a *.PDF file, however you can use a third party program like doPDF to turn your print output into a *.PDF file.
