Change DPI of already linked PDFs

[EATREVITPOOPCAD]

Is there a way to change DPI of linked PDFs? You can set the DPI at the prompt when you first link a PDF, I am hoping there is a way to change it now though because they are very carefully placed lol...

Honestly I am confused why Revit rasterizes vector PDFs which get printed as vectors via Revit...

What about Reload From? 

...reload the same one that is.

I found it greyed out in the type properties

I thought you were asking how the change DPI of ALREADY linked PDFs.

[EATREVITPOOPCAD]

I am. I have a Revit file that currently has 5 linked PDFs to it with a resolution set at 72. I would like to change the resolution to 300.

I do not see an option to change DPI when selecting reload from. That was my initial thought too

Do you have access to the original? If so, select the PDF in the Manage Links dialog box, press Reload From and reload the same one. The option to pick DPI is available.  Or does that not work for you?

ahhhh I prematurely aborted the operation before clicking open. Yep its all there! thank you

Are you sure about that? Look at the file size of the PDF printed from Revit. I have PDFs going from 800k to 20MB that beg to differ.
