<p>hankdd, if you are trying send this to a professional printer, you are better off sending them the uncompressed JPEG file. Its better to talk to the printer and have them help you instead of trying to give them a PDF that may not be optimal.</p>
<p>BTW, my daughter did not use a professional printer for her portfolio. Since most of her pieces are pencil drawings, she took them into photoshop, change the color mode into BW, resize it to the correct aspect ratio, then save it as highest quality JPEG file. We just sent that to costco photo center and it looked really good. Just thought I offer some advice so you don’t waste money. She was accepted to USC and Syracuse.</p>
