Resampling methods;
Bilinear
This resampling method computes new pixels using linear interpolation. The results are smoother than those produced by other methods but not as sharp as using Cubic Spline resampling method.
Cubic Spline
Cubic Spline resampling method computes new pixels using cubic splines. The Cubic Spline is the recommended resampling method for the most images as it represents a good trade-off between accuracy, speed, size and sharpness.
Resampling rate
Resampling rate represent the percentage of how much the size of the resampling images will decrease or increase. By default, the Resampling rate is 100%, which means that the images in the PDF document will resample with the current (not the original) size parameters.
Enable Color Patterns
If Color Patterns are enabled, the Printer Driver will create dithered bitmaps for each used color in the PDF document, resulting better quality and colors. The Color Patterns option recommended to create PDF documents in better quality, but not recommended for emailing or display on the web, because of the increased PDF file size.
