Increase resolution in publisher document

[vintageannie]

I have sent a document to a commercial printers that I created in Publisher
2007 and saved as a PDF and a Tiff. The printer says the the resolution
needs to be at least 300dpi. The flyer I created from scratch was saved as
both Tiff and PDF and saved as 300dpi, but the printer has rejected both and
says the resolution is not high enough.
In Graphics Manager the details of my current flyer shows I have scaling
94% x 94% with an effect resolution of 102dpi. I am prepared to start again,
so how do I create it to be 300dpi from scratch?

Assuming you have Pub 2003 or 2007, save the file as a .jpg and change the
resolution to 300.

This depends on your source images. If your source images are of low
resolution, there is nothing you can do to bring them up to 300dpi apart
from:
a) Make them smaller
b) Replace them with higher-resolution images

If the images are at the right resolution, then there is something wrong
with the way you are exporting the file. Is the page setup of the flyer
at the same paper size as it is going to be printed at?

I have publisher 2007. A jpg is not really suitable for commercial print, it
looks awful have tried this too.--

The source image is a small logo supplied from elsewhere, the rest is just
text in cmyk colours. So if I save the logo as a smaller image and import
back into the document would it make any difference to the resolution? Yes
the page setup is the same size as paper size it is going to be printed as.
(I know I have to adjust it to allow for bleed)

If the logo is small to begin with at it is already low resolution then
there really is not anything that you can do.

The trick to resolution is this:
You can scale down (shrink) the image and resolution will go UP.
You can scale up (enlarge) the image and resolution will go DOWN.
But you can never "ADD" resolution to make it better.

No matter what trickery you use small and low res will always look bad.
Even if you were to make it 300 dpi it is still going to look like it
does now.

You can send it to me if you want, I can take a look at it.
