problems with resolution exporting to photoshop...help

[Anonymous]

i've done several elevations using 2d line tool in archicad 14 at a scale of 1:200, i saved them as a pdf and opened them in photoshop however the scale goes massive, when i reduce the size of the image in PS from 100% to 10% the resolution looks really poor. any ideas how to overcome this problem please help deadline is approaching

Any particular reason why you're doing the elevations in 2D pen instead of using the elevation tool?

Re: the poor resolution when reducing the image in PS, all image editors have multiple resampling methods so you might want to explore those.

ArchiCAD saves the PDF as a vector drawing. When you open the PDF in Photoshop it will convert the vector image to a bitmap according to the preference setting. When you reduce the image size to 10% you are throwing away 99% of the pixels.

What are you trying to accomplish?
