I want to create a PDF file of one of my photos without losing any resolution. There are quite a few free ways to do this, but none retain the full resolution of the original file. Any pointers. A google search turned up nothing useful.
My reason for the question is that I want to use a printer significantly closer to home, but they require PDF files as input rather than any other format. I have no idea why, but I have not asked yet.
Thanks,

You can do it in Lightroom. First you need a pdf printer, such as Cute PDF (free software). There are others available, free or otherwise (eg Adobe Acrobat). They install on your computer as another printer. In Lr go to the print module, printer setup (Printer ... ) and select Cute pdf as target printer. Then set properties for your desired output (size, resolution, etc). "Print" will then output a file to whatever folder you have selected. You now have a pdf file of your image "suitable for framing".
This will probably work for any image software that will output to a printer.
