Table resolution too low

Table resolution too low

[Tom]

I just created a PDF of a bookblock by using MKII to produce  the .ps file
and Adobe Acrobat to create the PDF from it. When preflighting the PDF, all
the photos were found to be 300dpi or greater but the table created by the
following code was flagged at being only 150ppi. I don't see this as a
problem but is there a way to cause it to be 300dpi or greater to eliminate
the warning?

\placetable[here,force]{none}
{\starttable[|l|l|l|]
\HL
\VL \bf Player* \VL \bf Position \VL \bf Year Inducted \VL\SR
\HL
\VL Albert Exendine \VL End \VL 1970 \VL\SR
\HL
\VL Joe Guyon \VL Halfback/Tackle \VL 1971 \VL\SR
\HL
\VL James Johnson \VL Quarterback \VL 1969 \VL\SR

\VL Ed Rogers \VL End \VL 1968 \VL\SR

Why do you make the detour via PS at all?

There's no reason why a table should be resolution dependend at all,  
consisting just of fonts and lines.
But since you try to go via PS, there might be lowres pixel fonts (PK)  
involved.

Please provide a complete minimal example and describe how and why you  
force ConTeXt to produce PS.

Here is an example:

\starttext
\placetable[here,force]{none}
{\starttable[|l|l|l|]
\HL
\VL \bf Player* \VL \bf Position \VL \bf Year Inducted \VL\SR
\HL
\VL Albert Exendine \VL End \VL 1970 \VL\SR
\HL
\VL Joe Guyon \VL Halfback/Tackle \VL 1971 \VL\SR
\HL
\VL James Johnson \VL Quarterback \VL 1969 \VL\SR
\HL
\VL Ed Rogers \VL End \VL 1968 \VL\SR
\HL
\VL Jim Thorpe \VL Halfback \VL 1951\dagger \VL\SR
\HL
\VL Gus Welch \VL Quarterback \VL 1975 \VL\SR
\HL
\VL Glenn S. {\quotation Pop} Warner \VL Coach \VL 1951\dagger \VL\SR
\HL
\stoptable}
\stoptext

Using Tex-Live MKII, I created the .ps with >texexec --dvi TableExample

Needing a PDF/X-1a:2001 file, I created the PDF from the .ps file using
Adobe Acrobat Distiller 9

The warnings point to the lines in the table but not to the text.

But WHY do you need DVI/PS instead of just PDF?

No need to go via PS to get PDF/X-1a.

So you can just ignore the warnings.
PDF/X isn't resolution dependend.

The PDF that is created is PDF 1.5 (Acrobat 6.x)

Preflighting it doesn't seem to generate the image resolution warning.
Perhaps that is related to PDF/X-1a:2001.

It seems to be but I'm such a novice using these tools that I may be preflighting with the wrong options set. Knowing that the lower resolution on the table doesn't matter much is consoling.

It's about time for some eggnog.
