The PDF file will open automatically once the file has saved. The lowest resolution you want for printing is dpi. Here I have selected dpi. The file will not really be dpi, because I am blowing it up. If you take a dpi image and make it 10 times larger then the output will be 30 dpi and look very dotty. So the original file needs to be dpi for the final one to be dpi if you want to make it 10 times bigger.

Here you can see the file size and the final output size. Here you can see that the file size is 8. This is because your eyes are expecting better quality on smaller prints.

By the time you get down to an A4 page I would be trying to print at least dpi minimum, so again this would be X pixels. When I changed by output resolution to dpi it gave a dimension of pixels and the file size was This is too large to email, but if I take it on a thumb drive to the printer it will give a nice output.

If it was an indoor banner that people were viewing close up I may go to this trouble. But if it was a banner outside that people were viewing from a distance I think the 17, pixels will be fine.

My macOS If the file is already a png file you cannot increase the resolution. When you export from a pdf to a png it creates the image file right then and there in the resolution you specify. This is called rendering. Once you have a png or jpg all the information about the fonts and lines etc is lost and the image is just a mass of dots of different colours. So you cannot increase the resolution of an image file once it has been rendered.

You can zoom in to a pdf file and the edges the lines remain smooth and you will never see dots. If you zoom in on an image file you will start to see dots at some point. No matter what I do, the resolution is always the same.

It always exports the same dimensions, size and quality. Any guess what I am missing? I have the same problem. Preview for Mac no longer lets you change the resolution, only the DPI, and the result always looks terrible.
