Actually, Illustrator vector files do have an output resolution. You can access it in Document Setup : Printing and Export in the newer versions of Ilustrator and under the "Attributes" palette in the older versions. Perhaps your vector file is set to a low output resolution? The default, 800, is OK for most things, but some printers want you to set it to a much higher resolution, like 1500.

Interesting, but Andy is using Acrobat...

I thought you could set the resolution of your images in the job options or pdf settings area of distiller.

Images have a resolution - elements such as line arts can have a
flatness value - this does have a bearing on the quality of the artwork.
If 800dpi is selected for the artwork and output to 2400dpi it is said
to have a value of 3.

Products such as Enfocus Pitstop can detect these parameters and change
interestingly enough ....

yeh. but im talking about if youve already made your pdf or been sent a pdf that you need to extract images from always looks low-res...

unfortunately it looks like the only way to do this properly
(ie: have full control over the rasterized resolution) is to open it in photoshop
so it looks like all you acrobat users out there better stick to version 5 for exporting raster images (or put your hand in your pocket once again for
a copy of photoshop)

unless you have another solution, Adobe support team?
(hmm, very elusive...)
