Best way to get 1:1 image size in PDF output, no scaling?

Post by StraygoatWriting »

Hello all,

I'm creating a Flare project for online and PDF output and the images have all been created at the size needed for screen. When I build the PDF version, it seems to be scaling them up to 100% of the available width, which I don't want. There's no img width settings currently in the stylesheet. Is there a quick way to get the images to appear in the PDF at their original size i.e no scaling? Seems a simple thing to need, but I can't see anything about this, only how to stop images going beyond the layout with max-width.

If you open the image in Paint and look at the file properties, what Resolution does it show?

The resolution of all the images is 72ppi - I set that when exporting from Adobe Illustrator (which is what I used to create the images).The images vary in size. I know I can go through them all individually and set width and height to the actual width and height of each image, but wondered if there is an easier way.

Try setting the source file to 96dpi.
