Is the PDF driver set to resize the image? Make sure it is not changing the size or resolution of the map image. If that does not work, I would recommend doing a screenshot image or Save As HTML and pull out the image, then incorporate it into Word or whatever will do your page layout before printing to PDF.

| Print to PDF
I just had the same problem and found a workaround. There may be a much easier way to get good final PDF quality, but at least this works. It's my first day using Mappoint and I already have a nice set of client location maps. I created the maps in mappoint, then before printing, I changed the windows video resolution to 2048 x 1536. (Right-click on the desktop, select Properties, then Settings.) In Acrobat, I set the print resolution to 300 instead of screen res. After creating the PDFs, I changed the resolution back to normal and merged the various maps into a single PDF file and added bookmarks. The resulting maps look great! If anyone knows an easier way, I'd like to hear it. |

| Easier way to good PDFs
After experimenting a bit more I realized that I didn't need to change video resolution. I started doing that to try and make larger format maps. So to get better quality in your printed map, here's all it takes. Select File, Print then change these settings... - Set Acrobat printer resolution to either 300 dpi or 600 dpi. 600 dpi is slightly better but makes a huge print file. - Set map quality to Presentation. You probably were printing to screen resolution, or at normal quality. |
