  • Problem with print ready PDF

    Posted by Harry Cleary on July 30, 2009 at 11:35 am

    Could somebody have a look at this PDF. When I open it,on the back of the business card, it is showing ‘thick’ letters in the words Film And Challenge on my computer. Any ideas why this is happening and how to cure it.
    Thanks

    It looks OK when I opened it in Signlab.

    I have saved it as an eps for you to try Harry

    Here’s a pdf of the back.

    The "l"’s look extra thick at certain screen sizes – but are ok when zoomed in.

    Harry, this happens to pdf’s on my computer too, as Phill said, zoom in and it all looks fine, and I’ve never had an issue with them when printed. Must be a glitch maybe?

    It’s a PDF glitch when you convert text to curves then output to PDF. They look bad on screen unless you zoom in but will print fine.
