If you mean what you see on-screen is illegible, then you may not have
a problem. PageMaker isn't very good at displaying images, even when
the High Resolution preferences option is turned on.
Try printing the do***ent and see what the image looks like. If the
image is using the appropriate settings you should see a better quality
on the printout ... but remember to set the image part of the Print
settings to use "Normal". (Assuming you've got a decent quality printer
of course - trying to print pages in draft quality on a dot-matrix
printer isn't going to achieve much.)
There is one other possibility. A bitmap image that uses a thin and /
or small sized font for text can become illegible when scaled. The only
fix for this is to either use a better font in the image, or even
better don't use a font in the image, but instead type the text over
the image in PageMaker.
