I have a number of mine plans I wish to make available but they are about A1 size. I find taking a picture of them at the best resolution I can manage they are legible

The problem is that the only software I have to create PDFs is PDF Creator and it seems to resize everything to A4 and losing resolution as it does so.
Does anyone know if there's something I'm doing wrong in this process or have any suggestions how to get them up here without losing information.
The picture sizes start off at 3456 by 2304 pixels.
Cheers

Failing anything else I can have a go at converting from an image file to a PDF for you using the Adobe software.

my orders are to sit here and watch the world go by

I use cute PDF, it's free and doesn't leave any watermarks etc.

I've not done A1 size, but I've done A3.
I just did a quick test by creating a picture in MS Paint at those pixel sizes, then set page setup to ISO A0 then printed to PDF and is appeared to work ok

You can choose different paper sizes.
Possibly depends on other software and settings used to view images??

I went in a mine once.... it was dark and scary..... full of weirdos

When do I get my soapbox, I need to rant on about some b***cks
