Blurry or Fuzzy Text & Headings???

I use Acrobat Professional 7.1 and it has worked and printed properly until the last couple days.  Something has recently changed and now my printing is blurry...
When I receive a pdf and go to print it out, the preview looks normal. When I print, if there is a logo (business letterhead), it now prints blurry with a bunch of rectangular boxes forming the text.  In some cases the text prints out normal, and other times it prints out fuzzy.  Please see examples attached.
I have tried numerous things following the Acrobat Help menu's but nothing seems to work.  Any help would be appreciated!

Well it is inevitable that as the camera dollys in to the text the text will begin to pixelate as it gets larger. You can mitagate this to some degree using the camera parameters, specifically the angle of view and near and far planes. These allow you to control how large the text becomes before it disappears from view. You can also use the sharpen filter to help keep the text sharper as the camera zooms in on it. It really is a matter of playing with the parameters to get a good result. You might also find the near and far fade camera controls helpfull as a final tweak to the text.

  • ITunes 10.6 store blurry/fuzzy text?

    I am using Windows 7 X64 SP1 with the latest updates from Microsoft.
    I am currently using a Nvidia GTX 460 graphics card, with the latest Nvidia drivers.
    I have tried repeatedly to reset iTunes store cache, emptied Windows temp files, does repair options on both iTunes as well as Quicktime.
    I have also tried resetting both ClearType (including trying it turned off completely), and reset video card driver settings.
    I have tried to re-install both iTunes and Quicktime. I even uninstalled iCloud, and Safari. Still no effective change or improvement in any of those cases.
    Yet, the problem still remains. Many times when I try to browse the iTunes store, the text is very blurry and fuzzy and difficult to read. Sometimes the text becomes completely unreadable.
    Anyone else have similar experiences?
    Anyone know of a workaround, or should I just delete both iTunes and quicktime, and go back to iTunes 10.5 until their is a fix? It all started with the latest iTunes update that supposedly changes how it displays artwork and things. I can't tell any real difference between 10.5 and 10.6 in the case of artwork, but the display of text is getting very frustrating.

    Ha! Issue solved. The track not showing the arrows was a PDF in iTunes. All is well.

  • Blurry fuzzy text

    Hello,
    I'm having an interesting problem with text. Using a slide
    from the Captivate 2 sample movie, titled Soft-Skills Sample.cp,
    when I type new text onto one of the slides in a transparent text
    caption it looks blurry when I play the movie. However, when I type
    new text onto that same slide in a different text box and include a
    bulleted item, the text looks much clearer when I play the movie.
    Why is does this occur. I am interested in knowing because I would
    like to keep the text as clear as possible. Any ideas are
    appreciated. I can even send a sample slide if anyone is interested
    in seeing the problem first hand. Thanks.

    Hi Kelly
    There are essentially two different ways to "fix" the fuzzy text. If it's a one off, you may add a line or three at the bottom of the Caption. Then configure the bottom line with a bullet. After that, size the caption so you don't see the bullet.
    Or, if you want to influence all transparent captions, click Edit > Preferences > Project > SWF Size and Quality and clear the Anti-alias Transparent Captions option.
    Keep in mind that this may also be affected by the Windows settings that are configured. Specifically, an option called "font smoothing". If Font Smoothing is enabled on the PC used to edit and publish the Captivate, it also causes another type of Anti-aliasing to occur that is unrelated to what you see in Captivate.

  • Fuzzy Text at Printout

    When I printout images or text from fireworks ,or even if I
    export it as a JPEG, the images and, especially, the text come out
    as though anti-aliased and then zoomed into (fuzzy, blurry).
    The text is size 19 and the canvas is as large as an A4 piece
    of paper. Resolution is 72. I tried changing the anti-aliasing
    options of the text but none help.
    The text looks perfectly fine when I print it out from
    Microsoft Word.
    Please

    That's not enough. I have no idea what your printer specs are
    but 72 (I
    assume you are referring to pixels per inch, not per cm) is
    not enough.
    I'd suggest using 200. 300 is likely to be the highest value
    making some
    sence.

  • Blurry/Scrambled Finder text & buttons

    Here's a screenshot of my issue that's been going on for 2 years now (copy-past this URL into another window):
    http://www.use.com/Blurry_finder_text_7e7bfe597ea1c28b949a
    This has happened on two different MacBook Pros.  I've done everything from a full-wipe & clean install.  Had the hardware tested at the Apple Store.  Tried various GPU settings (Better Performance vs. Engery Saving in Preferences)... you name it, this still keeps happening.
    It doesn't happen all the time and there's absolutely no ryhme or reason as to what causes it.  Thought it might be due to heating (like when Final Cut does a render) but sometimes it starts up even after being idle for a while.
    Logging out or forcing any kind of full-screen refresh clears the issue, but eventually it will come back.
    The Genius Bar suggests this is a FONT issue caused by an application that's been loaded.  Problem is, I can't figure out a way to suss out which application could be the culprit.  And I'm not 100% buying into that explanation since all apps I have are specifically written for Snow Leopard - or higher.
    Anyone seen this problem and have a solution?

    Unfortunately this didn't end up being a complete fix.  I think it's a software bug in OSX 10.6 and earlier.
    I recently migrated to Mountain Lion and so far I have not seen this blurry icon/finder text issue yet.  Could be with the new code in 10.8 they addressed that issue.
    I'm not 100% convinced that upgrading to ML was the fix but will update the forum after the holidays if in fact things remain stable.

  • Blurry and fuzzy screen appearing randomly AIO 610-1270uk

    Dear users of AIO 610-1270, is anyone has  experience with blurry and fuzzy screen appearing randomely, black color is disapiring in favor of red, you can see on attached photos.
    I upgraded video drivers, but is was helpful for very short time only.
    I checked computer's video using hp support assistant, no erroes beenrepotred even screen was blurry and fuzzy durring checking.
    I would appreciate any help in this mater

    I have several thousand photos in several folders. I have noticed that whenever I want to change the folder used as the side show source, it takes the Screen Saver Preference pane a very long time to respond. It is as if it is scanning all the photos in the currently assigned folder in order to display them in the preview window provided, and it gets so dogged down doing that it can't respond to my clicks on the Choose Folder option.
    Assuming you don't want to redistribute your photos into a greater number of folders or subfolders so there would be fewer in each folder to process, you could try a workaround. Try moving your currently-assigned folder to your desktop temporarily, before opening the Screen Saver preference pane. If the preference pane can't find the old folder, it may immediately ask you to choose a new one. You could hopefully then do so, close the preference pane, and then put back the old folder.
    It's my understanding that there will be no future updates to Tiger, only security fixes.

  • After Effect blurry and fuzzy !

    Hi plEASE help why my imported ai_illustrator file is blurry and fuzzy in after effects cs6 (retina display) Both render and ram preview are blurry!

    Show us the appearance panel from one of your illustrator layers. Select one of the layers in AE and press the u key twice (uu) to reveal all properties of the layer that have been modified and any effects applied, check file interpretation by right clicking an Illustrator layer in the project panel and selecting Interpret Footage and select More Accurate from the other options panel. If the illustrator file is clean then your edges should be fine. If effects are applied in AI or layer styles are used then you must not scale the layers over about 120% or move the camera too close.
    One other hint, when grabbing screenshots from a mac you can use Cmnd + Shift + 4 to marquis select an area of your screen so the images are not so big. I also resize mine from my MBproR because they are twice the size they need to be for the web. It's also probably not the best idea to give the world the serial number of your mac.

  • Windows 8 Blurry/Fuzzy Text

    Hi everyone,
    I recently installed Windows 8 and i noticed that the screen puts a lot of strain on my eyes compared to Windows 7. It seems like the screen/text is blurry/fuzzy a bit putting strain on my eyes. It is not as crisp as it was in Windows 7. Almost too powerful?
    Anyone else experiencing this issue?

    I bought an Asus laptop with a 1920 x 1080 resolution 15.6" screen and windows 8 and I find the screen is tiring. The laptop has an i7-4700HQ cpu with onboard gpu and a separate nVidia gpu for higher demand games and applications.
    There is some Eye strain with this laptop. I have suspected:
    1) the small text as I am entering presbyopia world at 44 this year, or;
    2) perhaps it is the pwm way that led backlights are controlled in lcd screens.
    3) I've heard windows 8 and newer text is problematic.
    I do change the scaling of the text in windows on the laptop, and in apps like Google Chrome and IE, but that does not worsen anything. Scaling isn't worse, it only makes things bigger and easier to read, which seems to help, but I still get tired looking at
    the laptop screen. I have Clear Type on and without it, things look worse. I have tried various brightness levels. The text on the laptop seemed to look nice at first. I thought it looked "smooth", perhaps because of the high resolution of the screen
    (it is non-reflective matte). I suppose that is because of the higher resolution. In reality though, I find I am straining to focus on it. It seems oddly soft.
    What I don't understand, is why is it when I connect my older 17" lcd monitor to the laptop and use that as the only display, the text in windows 8 on that monitor is also blurry, and worse than it was when I used the 17" lcd display with my AMD64 desktop with
    XP Pro.
    Is it the display card or windows 8? Not sure what to do.

  • Is there a way to save a table in Photoshop (that was created in InDesign) without fuzzy text?

    I am trying to save a table in Photoshop that was created in InDesign for web use. When I save it as a png (can't save as pdf or jpeg due to limitations with our company's website), the text appears fuzzy (pixelated?). Is this because the table is getting flattened/rasterized?
    Is there a different adobe product that can be used to avoid this happening? The company who has built our website has a style editor that has limited capabilities. We have tried using the website's editor to create the tables; however, the editor lacks the flexibilty and user-friendliness that comes with InDesign. That is why we opted to create the tables in Indesign.
    In order to upload the table into the editor, the file must be saved as a png, so that is why we are creating in InDesign and then saving the table in Photoshop.
    Any ideas?
    Thank you for the help!
    Tracy

    Thanks for your help!
    Just to clarify, are you suggesting going through the export process while in Indesign? I did that and saved the table as an EPS file, then proceeded to open it, trim, and save as png in Photoshop. I noticed it lost it's white background when I reopened it in Photoshop; the table appeared with a transparent background (which isn't a big deal). When I uploaded the png in the website it doesn't appear to be as blurry, so that did help.
    Thank you for the suggestion!

    I've found mention of this bug in a bug report for the Netbeans IDE and from the information present over there it seems that the blurred text issue should be solved with the latest version of JDK7 (later than 7u40 build b28). Could you please try updating the JDK and see if the issue is solved?
    I am really curious to know if the issue is fixed.
    Updating the JDK fixed the fuzzy rendering Unfortunately it's introduced a new problem where the UI font (not the code editor font) is too big.

  • Fuzzy text in terminal on rMacBook Pro

    Not sure if this is a bug. Looks like the text in the terminal app lost has lost its crispness on the retina macbook pro. It's no longer retina resolution. Does Apple take bug submissions on this forum?

    Thanks for replying. I actually enabled antialiasing to see if that would work but it stayed fuzzy. Just unchecked it again as you said and the blurriness is still there. I'm quitting and restarting the terminal between trials. Don't know if the resolution will come across but here's a screenshot. It's just really uncomfortable to read.

  • Problem with fuzzy text in Captivate 5

    Hi,
    I know this is a question that has been raised before, but I'm yet to find a solution for my projects and live chat can't help me.  I'm using Captivate version 5, and regardless of whether I publish in high, medium or low quality, the text on my text captions and rollover captions appears fuzzy once published.  I'm using just the SWF to upload to a normal webpage (no LMS involved), without the HTML file, which I gather from previous posts may be a problem.  Can anyone help me around this please?
    Thanks,
    Laura

    Hi Laura
    Likely nobody will be able to help here. What is happening is that by not using the associated HTML page, the SWF is being either stretched or compressed. When that happens, pixels become rearranged. Text gets fuzzy (if you reduce the size) and often blocky or "jaggy" (if you increase the size). Just the nature of dealing with raster (bitmapped) images.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Fuzzy text in Acrobat Pro X

    Hi,
    I don't know if others noticed, but text seems to be displaying fuzzy in Acrobat Pro X, than Adobe Reader 9 or Apple Preview Mountain Lion. These screenshots should show the issue:
    http://img811.imageshack.us/img811/8615/acrobatproxvsadobereade.png
    http://img850.imageshack.us/img850/9200/acrobatproxvsappleprevi.png
    Acrobat Pro X and Adobe Reader 9 are set to render on an LCD screen. All other display settings in the preferences seems to be the same.
    Also, while colors seem similar in Acrobat Pro X and Apple Preview, they are a bit different in Adobe Reader 9. I don't know which one is the more faithful to the original, since the source is FrameMaker 9 on XP, a combination resulting in a very 'free' idea of color matching.
    My monitor is a wide gamut, recently calibrated HP LP2475w.
    The new Acrobat has an ugly Windowsy GUI, but it seems this is not the only problem. I wonder if this is a case of 'operator's error', or a bug in the Acrobat line.
    Paolo

    Hi Test,
    Keep in mind all snapshots were taken on the same system, each window side-by-side. So, it is not a matter of turning smoothing on or off, since this would affect all documents at the same time. In fact, I tried different smoothing settings (including off), and this was not a viable solution.
    I can clearly see a difference between the three examples. Text in Apple Preview is extremely clear. On Adobe Reader 9 it is quite clear, even if a bit heavier. In Acrobat Pro X it's even heavier, and very hard to read. More than text, I start to see confused ink stains (and have problems forming the sonic image of the words in my mind).
    As for color, I guess you are right in suspecting there is a different interpretation of the embedded color profile. Acrobat Pro X (and Apple Preview/ColorSync) might correctly translate it (being a prepress settings), while Reader could be confused. I don't know where to choose a color profile in Reader 9, so I cannot test it.

    Viewed built in menus- Very clear and crisp
    Changing resolution- Gets worse
    Played with font smoothing- no difference
    Tried calibrating, no differnce
    Thoughts? Thanks!

    Hello- Bumping this one along...
    As an update, it seems to do this on any external display. Text is very unclear and of poor quality. Built in display fonts look ok. I've been reading lately that Snow Leopard seems to have a problem with external displays on MacBooks, but this hasn't come from Apple.
    Any advice?
