[Suggestion] Allow the user to specify the resolution to rasterize the exported document

Post by Jensen Head »

Currently, when option "Sanitize Document Options (Sanitize Document will remove hidden data and metadata so any sensitive information will not be published with your PDF. Choose an option to be...)" / "Rasterize content with overlapping objects" is enabled, a very low resolution is used. Please allow custom resolution, or choose from 100, 150, 300 and 600 dpi options. And use a lower compression ratio than now - so that there are fewer graphic artifacts.

Hello Jensen Head,

Are those images shown at 100% zoom for the PDF file? Can we have one sample for comparison?

I've also asked my colleagues to take a look at this and consider this feature request and the result of the consultation is that we already have a ticket:
#5811: FR: Allow the user to specify the resolution to rasterize the exported document in Editor
And a developer assigned to implementing this feature.
I still do not have a time frame for when this will actually be ready though.

Kind regards,
Stefan

No, in the screenshots the document display scale is greater than 100%.

Hello Jensen Head,

Thanks for the sample file! It is not the same document as per your original image, but I could see the rasterization quality!
The ticket is in place - so we will be working on this.

Kind regards,
Stefan

Hello Jensen Head,

Ops - I should have looked more carefully!
In any case - this is a special file on it's own so it does require quite a lot of 'tweaking' to extract content out of it (as per the other topic where we discuss this same document).

Kind regards,
Stefan

Hello, Jensen Head

From what I can see, it was implemented in 2022, the options are in the rasterize pages dialogue:

You're looking at the dialog for a different tool, "Rasterize Pages." However, the dialog for the tool discussed in this thread has indeed been modified in accordance with my request. The "Sanitize Document Options" dialog now includes a "Rasterization resolution" field, allowing you to select a value from a list of presets (72, 96, 144, 300, and 600 dpi) or enter a custom value. I didn't find any mention of this feature being added in the Version History.

Please convey my deepest gratitude to the development team!
