I don't quite see why the electronic submission guidelines for dissertations (PDF) would involve any standards for graphics you insert into whatever document/application you use to produce the *printed* copy of your dissertation. Dissertations in PDF format are delivered as GRAPHICS not as text (last I checked), so there would be no advantage whatsoever to specifying 600dpi or 300dpi or whatever, since the original document is never going to be distributed. Sure, 150dpi would make for a poor printed output, but I can't see any sense whatsoever in specifying how you produce your dissertation. That would be like a school requiring everybody to use MS Word to write it. -- David W.
