WPTools PDF quality a bit on the side

I use ImageEn to scan documents in at 300dpi. I save the images to a PDF file and everything looks great and the PDF prints wonderfully.

I need to merge some PDF files into a single file so I am testing WPViewPDF and when opening the PDF file, the quality is nothing like what is seen when opening the PDF in a reader.

Is there a way to improve the quality of the image when loading?

I modified the WPViewPDF_ReadImageStream procedure to force 300dpi and it didn't appear to make any difference in the quality.

Does anyone know if the demo version of WPViewWP is different than the full licensed copy? All I got out of WPTools was as follows:

The size of the image created by makeimage can be configured.
Maybe the bitmap is too small.
While it is possible to create bitmap at 300dpi, that will be huge.

I didn't print the imported PDF after I made the changes to the DPI and only looked at the view where it was appearing the quality was that same as the first attempt.

After printing with the new settings, it looks great.

Thanks for looking and the offer to help.

I was on the road, therefor I was not able to send you more detailed information.

PDF dies not contain information on the dpi the information stored on a page. A PDF page uses 72 dpi to specify the coordinates.

With the makeimage you can specify the rendering resolution. With the imageen interface that values are passed in the properties
IOParams.fDpiX
IOParams.fDpiY

Larger values will create more details bitmaps which are also larger.

Thanks Julian. Since I control the creation of the original PDF's in this situation, I actually modified the WPViewPDF_ReadImageStream method and set the resolution there as well as each images IOParams.fDpiX and IOParams.fDpiY properties as this is a multipage PDF.

Setting the imagemen properties happened after the page was read and it wasn't appear to help. Again, I should have printed the documents and examined them after setting the imagemen properties to determine the quality.

The tools worked and I will be ordering it.
