Hi newsgroup,
I have a question: For my job applications I want to put my diplomas and certificates online on my homepage. The preffered format for this would be pdf. The documents are in color, and I have even seen them printed on color laser printers in some companies during job interviews.
My plan is: Scan them at the right resolution, open them in Photoshop CS and print them using the print preview on the adobe pdf printer (which ouputs as a pdf file).
What would be the right resolution for that? So far, I tried 100 ppi, 150 ppi and 300 ppi.
The strange result: Printed on paper the 300 is best. But when I preview them on the monitor screen, the 100 seems best, but they are scaled to fit completely on the screen. If there is a bigger shape of e.g. just blue background, the 300 looks lousy on the screen.
Thanks for any help!!
