I just created a PDF of a bookblock by using MKII to produce the .ps file and Adobe Acrobat to create the PDF from it. When preflighting the PDF, all the photos were found to be 300dpi or greater but the table created by the following code was flagged at being only 150ppi. I don't see this as a problem but is there a way to cause it to be 300dpi or greater to eliminate the warning? \placetable[here,force]{none} {\starttable[|l|l|l|] \HL \VL \bf Player* \VL \bf Position \VL \bf Year Inducted \VL\SR \HL \VL Albert Exendine \VL End \VL 1970 \VL\SR \HL \VL Joe Guyon \VL Halfback/Tackle \VL 1971 \VL\SR \HL \VL James Johnson \VL Quarterback \VL 1969 \VL\SR \HL \VL Ed Rogers \VL End \VL 1968 \VL\SR \HL \VL Jim Thorpe \VL Halfback \VL 1951\dagger \VL\SR \HL \VL Gus Welch \VL Quarterback \VL 1975 \VL\SR \HL \VL Glenn S. {\quotation Pop} Warner \VL Coach \VL 1951\dagger \VL\SR \HL \stoptable}} Tom Benjey 717-258-9733 voice 717-243-0074 fax Twitter: @TomBenjey

Why do you make the detour via PS at all?

There's no reason why a table should be resolution dependend at all, consisting just of fonts and lines. But since you try to go via PS, there might be lowres pixel fonts (PK) involved. Please provide a complete minimal example and describe how and why you force ConTeXt to produce PS. Greetlings from Lake Constance!

But WHY do you need DVI/PS instead of just PDF?
Needing a PDF/X-1a:2001 file, I created the PDF from the .ps file using Adobe Acrobat Distiller 9
No need to go via PS to get PDF/X-1a.
The warnings point to the lines in the table but not to the text.
So you can just ignore the warnings. PDF/X isn't resolution dependend. Greetlings from Lake Constance! Hraban --- http://www.fiee.net/texnique/ http://wiki.contextgarden.net https://www.cacert.org (I'm an assurer)

So is it ok now ? -- Luigi It seems to be but I'm such a novice using these tools that I may be preflighting with the wrong options set. Knowing that the lower resolution on the table doesn't matter much is consoling. It's about time for some eggnog.
