Page Resolution The resolution in dpi is used as the PDF page is converted into an image inside PDFill. The higher dpi, the better resolution to display inside PDFill. But, the higher dpi will result in slower speed and bigger temporary file size. The edited PDF is NOT related to the dpi. It is always in business quality PDF. If PDFill is slow for the computer older than Pentium II 400 or less than 128 MB memory, please reduce Page Resolution to 75 dpi.

But, the image inside the new PDF will be still the original 10.0M image.
