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.

Why do you make the detour via PS at all?

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?

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!

If you try

what happen ? -- luigi

The PDF that is created is PDF 1.5 (Acrobat 6.x) If -- for some reason -- you need 1.4 try

\pdfminorversion4 \starttext \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} \stoptext

Preflighting it doesn't seem to generate the image resolution warning. Perhaps that is related to PDF/X-1a:2001.

So is it ok now ? -- luigi
