Hi - I need some urgent help with an application I am about to start. I'll try and describe how the application will (hopefully) work....

The client requires an on-line mailer creator for it's partners.

The partner will log-in and be given a choice of ad campaigns called from a database.

Once a campaign has been chosen they then choose the page size they require (A4 / A5 etc).

They can then choose from a library which image they want on the add (these preview images will be in 72dpi for speed purposes). They may also be able to choose which headline they require from a library too.

Once they are happy with their custom ad they can then save the configuration back to the database to be called up at a later date if required.

Now comes the tricky bit....

With the new ad configuration the partner needs to be able to create a pdf for print artwork. So the onscreen version (72dpi) needs to be converted to 300 dpi and then a pdf created of that file.

I know it's very possible to get the initial on-screen ad development process built but I need some assistance on the swapping 72 for 300 dpi and pdf creating process.

Has anyone got any ideas or heard of a similar project?

Any help will be greatly received!

Many thanks
