How to see an embedded image’s dpi (ppi) in a pdf in Acrobat Pro?

The following situation baffled me slightly: after preparing a pdf in a different program I wanted to make sure that an embeded image in the pdf file had the right dpi, yet I found no way in adobe acrobat pro to inspect the file/image dpi.

Can that be, or am I missing where this feature is hidden?

Answer

You can use the build in Preflight function.
[I don’t know when it has been introduced but its there in Acroboat 9 Pro and above]

Advanced > Preflight [Keyboard Shortcut Shift + Ctrl + X ]

Have a look at this video to see what I mean:

There are also other plugins and stuff, but as there is this built in option I don’t think you’ll need it.

For more stuff on the topic just google for ” image dpi in pdf ” and you’ll find lots on the topic.

Good Luck!
