There some major issues with converting PDFs to Laserfiche images. Our drawings are coming out too light to read causing our suppliers to come back and ask for them to be resubmitted. The drawings in LF look fine but print out horribly. Is this something we can correct without making the images huge?

We played around with QFs:

We usually create 300 dpi images (300a) but also tested with 900 dpi and 1200 dpi. There was a huge difference in quality just between 900 and 1200 (imagine how bad 300 looks!).

And let's talk file sizes. The original PDF going in was 1.2 meg but grows to 16 meg at 1200 dpi:

Like William Dooley, I too generally lean towards image files for ease of use in Laserfiche, Watermarking with TAGs, Document Manipulation, and particularly for Workflow Automation Processing. I also agree that this is a significant difference in resource requirements for PDFs vs image files. Therefore, I may have to rethink our methodology and only keep PDFs if our Ver. 10.4 upgrade doesn't fix this issue.

Anyone have any solutions to this?
