 * Hi Edgar,
 * Our compliments: the PDFBuilder works like a charm!
   We have a question: is there
   a way to set the compression rate of the background and other images included
   in the pdf-file? The images now become a bit blurry. See [https://www.eft-center-hannover.de/basistraining/download/Preview.pdf](https://www.eft-center-hannover.de/basistraining/download/Preview.pdf)
 * The resulting PDF is now 139 KB. We would not mind if it was bigger.
 * Looking forward to hearing from you.
   Best,Hendrik

 * Or would it help to use a specific width and height for the background image,
   to prevent compression? E.g. 3505 x 2477
   Now the Preview.pdf created by PDF Builder
   when opened with Photoshop is 3505 x 2477 and the original background image 3508
   x 2480[https://www.eft-center-hannover.de/basistraining/download/Certificate.jpg](https://www.eft-center-hannover.de/basistraining/download/Certificate.jpg)
   PS Sorry, this topic should have been created under [WooCommerce PDF Builder](https://wordpress.org/plugins/woo-pdf-invoice-builder/).
   Please let me know if I should open it there and close this one.

 * I found a solution for the background-image: use “center” instead of “fill” and
   then by trial and error find the right pixel size for the background.
