How to set Xojo's PDF resolution

[Rick_Araujo]

When drawing a 600 DPI picture in a area, I see people getting a 72DPI garbage result. I couldn’t find in the manual how to set the resolution to the usual standards 150, 300 and 600 DPI. Am I missing something or is it an incomplete feature? Still a WIP, or the manual is not clear, or am I being myopic here?

This recent thread has a response from @Javier_Menendez that may prove useful:

Image resolution in pdf

My program generates an invoice as a pdf. The problem I’m having is I want to have a header image at the top but the resolution of the image in the pdf is low. Is there a way to sharpen the image? I have tried setting pic.horizontalresolution and pic.verticalresolution to 300 but it still comes out low res on the pdf.

No, really not useful. It ended without a solution, the version at that time presented the same defects, missing feature and people had no solution.

Eight months old, not implemented yet.

You can use our MBS DynaPDF plugin instead of the built-in class.

We can do higher dpi, jpeg pass through, preserve or convert color spaces and later optimize images.

Well… but it won’t be a solution for “How to set Xojo’s PDF resolution”

But right now I know it’s a very basic missing feature that we do not have it working yet but we have an old report for it we can track. [https://xojo.com/issue/63039](https://xojo.com/issue/63039)

Thanks for the info, Anthony.
