[Gimp-user] Gimp pdf export turns high res xcf into low res file and distorts text

[Kamilla Elliott <kamilla_elliott yahoo com>]

I'm working on graphic design for a CD (booklet, tray card, disc body, etc.) using Gimp. I set the xcf resolution to 300ppi and all of the photos I am using are also 300ppi. The file looks sharp in xcf format and also when exported to psd. But when I export to pdf from xcf the photos lose their resolution and the text loses its size and layout. and/or distorted (from psd to pdf). When I export from psd to xcf, the photos become blurry again and the text becomes distorted and illegible. I need to submit these files in pdf format to the printer who is producing the CDs, but the pdf files produced in Gimp are unacceptable. Any solutions? Thanks.
