High Quality Jpeg or Tiff

Hi There,
What is the vest way to extract drawings from ArchiCAD into a JPEG or TIFF format?
The ArchiCAD save-as doesnt produce the quality I need.
Thanks.

Someone has answered this before - and I cannot recall what the direct method within AC is. I've found that PDF is the best intermediary when you want to scale the image file to any particular size. If you have Photoshop, just open the PDF - a vector format - and specify the desired pixels and you'll get a crisp image at that resolution. You may need/want to apply some filters to the resulting image to beef up lineweights/etc.

If you set the window to increase 400% (no more), you can get a better result.

If your not going to render the view try Prnt Scrn. It may capture the image as well as trying to save the image as any other file type.

I hate it when I waste 10 min on a render and find that Prnt Scrn is just as useful a view as the render.
