    This method did not work for me. I did it, and then made a pdf of the journal I had made. When I uploaded it to Lulu, I got the message that the images were less than 200 dpi. So no I’m going back to the power point to reinsert the images after putting them at 300 dpi first.

    The way I converted the images to 300 dpi was to download the free program called Paint.net. I uploaded the images in this program. For each one, I clicked the image button and then clicked resize. This brought up a box where I could set the dpi to 300.

    Reinserting all these images is taking a long time, but I can’t find any other solution.

      Hi Karen
      There is a way to set your registry keys in PowerPoint so it exports at 300 dpi.

      I have also done the same and just saved my finished file as a PDF and then used Adobe Pro to export everything at 300 dpi and then organized my pages to put them back into a single PDF again. You can use the Select All function in your download folder to quickly add them back into Adobe.

    Hi Sue,

    Just wondering if this high resolution saving technique is only used for Power Point files or can it be applied to PDF files? Or do you apply it to the Power Point files then save the PDF files from that enhanced Power Point file? Is this technique recommended before publishing the journal to KDP? Thanks

      Hi Wai-Ling
      What you want to do is apply it to your PowerPoint files and then it will be applied to the PDF.
      Yes it’s what I normally do before publishing on KDP.

    Hi my version of PowerPoint 10 does not have that option so is there another way to get 300dpi when saving. I am getting message from kdp that my images are not 300dpi but I know they are.
    Is there a work around for this?
