Increase the resolution of a picture in a pdf/ publisher document

[Pick]

I created an ad in publisher, which included our logo, converted it to a PDF
document and submitted it to the company. They informed me that the logo was
not the same "high resolution" and would not print as clearly as the rest of
the document. How do I fix the resolution of the logo. I have a copy of the
logo in Microsoft Picture Manager also. Please help I am new at this.

Thanks

You can't increase the resolution and not end up with crap. (I couldn't find
a nicer word, sorry.)

The part that doesn't make sense is that the entire ad is the same
resolution in the end. What format is your logo in?

The logo is in Microsoft Picture Manager. I am a new employee here and most
of the artwork etc. for recruitment were created before I started. If I
convert the logo to a PDF will that help? Thanks for your help

I didn't want to know what program you are using to view the file, I meant
the format of the file. I think you are really going about this the hard
way.

Let me open Picture Manager and walk you thru what I'm asking... (hang on
for a moment, my computer is old and take a few moments)

When you open PM. do you see your pictures as thumbnails with the file name
below it. For example, logo.jpg. I'm asking what is the file extension (the
part after the dot)?

Okay - right click on the file name and select Properties. On the right it
will give you several specs about that file. Beside Picture Properties is
the word "More". Click on that. Near the bottom, it will tell you what the
resolution of that file is. What does it say?

Right-click the logo in Publisher, click save as picture, see if the image will
save at 300 dpi. Can you recreate the logo, is it complex? Is there a web site
with the logo?

Horizontal resolution = 96 dpi; Veritical resolution = 96 dpi

In that case someone at some time has saved the logo as a jpeg. The jpeg
format is a "lossy" format that was specially developed for compressing
typical "photos" and should definitely not be used for saving high
resolution images. A typical company logo would be initially drawn and saved
in a high resolution "drawing" format such as metafile (.wmf) which is
essentially a graphical "description" of the drawing. Do you have access to
the original logo in its original format? Otherwise, it might be that
someone has scanned an original high quality printed logo, in which case
they should have scanned it at the highest native resolutuon that the
scanner can handle and saved it in a lossless format, such as Windows bitmap
(.bmp) or some other lossless format. If you don't have access to the
original drawing, do you have access to a scanned copy such as the one I
have described?

Hi,
It only allows the 150 dpi or 96 dpi (web); I am unable to select the other
options.

I will check to see if anyone has the original logo.
Thanks much!
