Subject:poor quality of on screen pdf From:Jennifer Maitland <jlm -at- kwi -dot- com> To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- raycomm -dot- com> Date:Fri, 31 May 2002 15:54:25 +0100
Hi everyone,
Can anyone tell me why the PDFs I create look fine when printed out, but
terrible on screen? I don't really have any images in them, but the fonts
are fuzzy and the flow charts have some thick lines and graininess..... I've
recently upgraded to Acrobat 5 (on Windows 2000) so I thought that would do
the trick, but it hasn't. A lot my audience is likely going to want to just
view this stuff on screen as a quick reference, especially some of the flow
charts.
I've played around with the Distiller settings for the past half hour and
cannot make a better looking on screen PDF - any ideas?
Your help is very much appreciated, thanks!
-Jennifer Maitland
