Hi Rachel,

there is not a straight forward answer.

generally you will get optimal quality for line drawings if you output “vector pdf” not “raster” (see printing dialog)

other than that you can increase pdf raster resolution, read this thread for details and limitations

Thank you very much !!
I don’t have the option of PDF 995.
How can I get it?

PDF995 is a third party app that you can get for free here. It emulates the Adobe PDF standard.
Otherwise, if you have installed Adobe’s Creative Cloud or Acrobat Pro, then you will see a listing for their PDF version.

Another good PDF authoring tool that does a good job with vector PDF printing is BullZIP.
I personally use both PDF995 and BullZIP regularly for PDF printing, not just for Rhino.

I use CutePDF. Free, functional .http://cutepdf.com/

I have tried now with PDF995 and quality of 1200 dpi,
and that is much much better :slight_smile:
Thank you all for helpful reccomendations
