pdf default resolution 72 dps

Hi, 

is there a way of saving PDFs in Archicad to have reduced resolution of images by default set to 72 dpi? So there won't be a need to set it every time for export of every newly opened file. Thank you in advance. 

 

the option is found here: "Limit image resolution to"

It seems that every time you create a Publisher Set, you must set the default DPI, otherwise it will be 300.

But once you have changed it, then it will remember.

So if you change this in your template, then it should stay as you set it and will be good to go for any new file you start..

Just if you create a new publisher set, you need to set it for that new set.

You will have to go into the figures settings and change the DPI in there. When I added this image it was on 72 DPI be default. Or do you want the Views to be set to 72 DPI?

I am adding jpg files that are quite large so after I export the pdf that consists of them I want to compress the pdf file not to be too big. 

Yes it works, I will have to start using Publishing option then, I generally go to layout view and then press CTRL+SHIFT+S to save each layout as pdf.

Hi, so I am setting my publishing pdfs and I am wondering is it possible to create a relative path for saving the files?

not sure if it could work this way? But somehow I need to show the archicad first path how to make a relative path from it... 

 

The same way relative path works for dwg reference files like here: ..\

Would that be possible?

Thanks in advance! 

I don't think it is possible.

You have to browse for a specific path.
