Can anyone help me?

I am creating pdf's from Quarkexpress. My images are all 300dpi, I am using the 'Press Quality' settings but when I run preflight on my pdf it tells me that all my images are only 200dpi.

What am I doing wrong?

My Product Information:
Acrobat Pro 8.0, Windows

I've sorted it.
Just in case anyone else has the same problem...

I had reduced the size of my images to 75% in Quark originally. When I used the images at 100% the pdf result was perfect - all images 300dpi.

If you are dropping PS into Distiller, with Press Quality setting selected, go to Settings/Edit Adobe PDF settings. It will launch the settings window for Press Quality. Under the 2nd tab, "Images", turn Sampling off in all 3 sections (Color Images, Grayscale Images, and Monochrome Images). This will prevent Distiller from modifying your images.

Sorry I misunderstood your original post. I ran a test and my images are coming out 200 dpi also. I will keep working to find a resolution...............

When Printing from Quark, in the print dialogue box, try and select Full Resolution Tiff output and see if that makes a difference. Also you make just want to export directly from Quark.

Thanks glock19, I'll try it. Can you confirm what you mean by 'export directly from Quark'
