Hi,
I've been trying out LyX for the last few days on windows vista. I am trying to produce small books that I will print out with createspace. When I upload a small test pdf their online reviewer complained the pdf file was less than 300 dpi. It's not a graphics thing since these are simple text only books at this stage. The file is actually around 96 dpi.
Is there any way to control the resolution of the pdf file, or to export it to another format then manually convert it without it ending up a mess.
(I don't live in America so the proofs will take quite a long time to get to me.)
Thanks for your help.
LyX ⇒ pdf file export - control resolution
NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.
And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p

Re: pdf file export - control resolution
If the PDF is all text, and you're getting any pixelation at all, it means that TeX is using Type 3 fonts (which it should not do if you can avoid it). Which font packages have you loaded?
In general, Type 1 fonts (and TrueType fonts) will not have a resolution---your PDF reader renders them graphically based on vectors, not pixels.
