Poor quality text

Post by brazilianx »

The quality of the text in the PDFs I am printing is pretty poor.

Here is an example: http://screencast.com/t/RHTgdh1qQ
and here is the 'before' shot: http://screencast.com/t/LcqwCwBvGSSo

I am on a PC, Windows 7, printing emails from Outlook 2010 and viewing in Adobe
Could this be a print driver or font management issue?

I used the Bullzip driver on my previous laptop at a different company and it looked much better than this. What troubleshooting tips can you recommend I take please?

Thanks

Hi,

What does the "before" shot refer to? Is it a screen capture directly from Outlook?

I have resolved this now. Nothing to do with Bullzip, or fonts. It was down to a setting on Acrobat:

Acrobat > Preferences > Page Display > Smooth Text

The default setting was 'none' and that was causing all my PDFs to look messed up!

Thanks
