That is if you don't care about refrying your PDF and potentially loosing transparency.Sure . . . just set up distiller with a hot folder with the settings you want and then print a postscript file at 200% to that hot folder make sure to set your page size correctly. .. . distiller will do the rest . . .
No matter what you do, your image resolution will be cut in half wherever you apply the 200% scaling, unless the images are 600ppi to begin with and you don't downsample upon export.
As far as the resolution of the images, they are full size. For some reason the designer insists on creating the document at half size. (images placed are actually 50%). JasonSpr, are you saying that enlarging at the rip, even though the images would be 150dpi, would yield satisfactory results?
An example: if your images are 3x3, 300 dpi, stored in the pdf at 1.5x1.5, 300 dpi, then when rendered at 200% through the rip they will be 3x3, 300 dpi.
Wouldn't it have to be stored in the PDF at 1.5x1.5, 600ppi in order to produce 3x3, 300ppi when ripped at 200%?
