Fred,
Also check the settings in Acrobat distiller. The default settings are
for "screen" which means all images are downsampled to 72dpi. If you
choose the "print" setting in distiller then they will be downsampled
to 300dpi. You can customize these setting so there is no downsampling
too if you want 600dpi (or whatever) figures retained in your final
PDF doc.

Hello all,
I have made some really nice .png images with pymol, but when I print
them out they lose quite a bit of resolution. Likewise, when I
convert them to PDF with Acrobat, the resulting .pdf file looks much
worse (on my LCD screen) than the original .png. Is there a way
around this problem? Could it be the colors that I'm using in Pymol
that's causing this trouble?
