Why are my placed drawings pixeled and blurry?

I've tried to place drawings (originally from a pdf file) in .ai, .jpg. .pdf and .eps format in an indesign document version CS5. They all appear blurry, despite looking nice and sharp in illustrator. What am I doing wrong?

Sheila,
Bob, like me and many forum regulars, is subscribed to the entire InDesign forum and does most of his responding by email becasue he finds it more efficient. In any topic you are likely to get duplicate responses because many users have an opportunity to answer the question, and may be doing so simultaneously, or simply may not have received the previous posts in their email yet.
The only way you can avoid getting additional email from your thread is if you return to the forum page for the topic and turn off your email notifications.

Viewing content within any PDF is pixelated and blurry

Hi,
I use Acrobat Pro 10 at work and in the past week any PDF document I look at and create, the content looks pixelated (badly) and blurry, not the clean, crisp view I have come to expect with PDFs. Doesn't matter which PC I work from, it is the same pixelated and blurry view I get.
Our Desktop team don't understand why this is happening to me only. They have cleaned up my profile, thinking that this was possibly causing the issue, but it hasn't fixed it. They have also unistalled and re-installed Acrobat Pro 10, but this hasn't made any difference.
I haven't changed any settings in Priorities when I come to print to Adobe PDF.
Does anyone know/have any thoughts/suggestions as to why I'm getting the pixelated and blurry look with any PDF that I view?
In the meantime I will keep looking to see if I can find anything that might help with this issue. It's frustrating me and the Desktop team that we can't get to the bottom of the issue, as I can't really read PDF documents properly when they are in this state
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hi Gillian ,
Is it happening with all the PDF' or any specific one'?
Which platform do you work on?
Try repairing Acrobat if you haven't tried that.
Launch Acrobat>Navigate to Help>Repair Acrobat Installation
Or try Updating it to the latest version.
Launch Acrobat>Navigate to Help>Check for Updates
See if that helps.

Why is everything pixelated and blurry in CS6?

Hi,
A few months ago I installed the trial versions of Adobe Indesign, Illustrator and Photoshop on my MacBookPro. After they expired I purchased the standard student edition and used the provided key number to unlock the full versions. However, everything (including the sample fonts list, icons and opening menu) are pixelated and blurry. As a design student, it is incredibly distracting to see font that isn't smooth like it should be on a retina display...
I've updated Indesign to version 8.0.1 but to no avail. What could be wrong and how might I solve this problem?
Thank you,
Cuong

@Tereyn "Since the originator has not stated that the software was tested on a non-retina display how can he/she or you be sure the display is the origin of the problem?"
Yes he does say that he is using a retina display.. Did you even read the post.
"As a design student, it is incredibly distracting to see font that isn't smooth like it should be on a retina display..."
If you have another problem why don't you create your own post?
It's still annoying for me that there isn't a retina fix yet and it's been a few years now. It's just a few menu icons. Fix the retina issue please!

I've been using Aperture now for the past 7 months and really happy with it, however in the past two days any photos I download are heavily pixelated and blurry. When I download the same shots to any other program they are fine.

Hi,
I've been using Aperture now for several months without any issues except for the last couple of days...when I now download my shots from the memory card the photos are heavily pixelated and blurry but when loaded to iPhoto they are fine.
Can someone tell me what the problem could be and how to fix it.

Is Aperture doing any processing? ("Window→Show Activity" -- anything there?)
Are the Images pixilated/degraded when shown in the Viewer as well as in the Browser? (Double-click an Image to open it in the Viewer.)
How 'bout at 100%? (In the Viewer, press "z" to zoom to 100%. The "z" key toggles the zoom.)
Does generating a new Preview remove the pixilation? (Select an Image in the Browser, hold down "{Option}" and click "Photos→Generate Preview".)

Replacement iPhone 5c screen pixelated and blurry

I got my iPhone 5c replaced at the Apple store Monday and it's only Tuesday and now all pictures in all apps and even taking pictures are super pixelated and blurry . My old iPhone was replaced for mic and speakerphone issues, never a single problem I had with my perfect screen . What is going on & how do I make it stop?! Do I have to get them to replace it again ?? I can't just live with not seeing my screen . It's a brand new phone ! I rather have mic issues and use my headphones than a blurry screen :(

Took it in today, they told me nothing was wrong and sent me on my way . I am so upset!! It's still all pixelated and blurry, it's hurting my eyes :(

I have 100's of CDs that I have downloaded to my itunes library and they are in the library playable but they do not show up in the C drive under the iTunes Music folder under users. Why are they in the libary and not in the itunes music folder. Win 7 OS. When I look in the library under the get info screen it says they are in the folder itunes music, under the c: drive but when I actually go to that folder to look for them they are not there....HELP!

Hello RumDog,
I think this article will help you find the media in your library.
Where are my iTunes files located?

Discovering and changing the iTunes Media folder location
Note: You would usually only change the iTunes Media folder location to share music between accounts on the same computer. See this article for specific steps on how to accomplish this. Also, see this article if you want to know how to move your music to a new computer.
Mac OS X: Click the iTunes menu and choose Preferences.
Windows: Click the Edit menu and choose Preferences.
Click the Advanced pane. iTunes displays the location of your iTunes Media folder.
You can then:
Note where your media folder is, such as for backing up your media.
Use the Reset button to reset it's location to the default (which is the iTunes folder).
Click the Change button to select a folder for a new location. Once you change this location:
If you make a new or alternate iTunes library, the new location will be used by that library.
Existing files will not be moved unless you choose File > Library > Organize library and choose the option to "Consolidate files."

Why are my contacts showing numbers and not names

Why are my contacts showing numbers and not names?

When you added your contact details in the contact app did you fill in the fields correctly. For example in contacts where it says "first" did you enter a number instead of a name?

Why are my itunes-synced songs and pictures are incomplete (corrupted) when transfered to my iPhone? E.g. songs start from somewhere in the middle and glitch continiously.

Why are my itunes-synced songs and pictures are incomplete (corrupted) when transfered to my iPhone? E.g. songs start from somewhere in the middle and glitch continiously. This is a big problem which means all my windows -> iphone pictures are half black or glitched on the iphone. Also my songs are completely glitched. I have tried resyncing and different USB-ports.

Same problem on Iphone 4s AND windows 7. Really annoying that I can't have any music on my brand NEW device.

Why are there so many apps and wearable tech out there that specifically focuses on losing weight?

I'm under weight and would really like to see some apps for people like me who want to gain about 30 lbs!

Why are there so many apps and wearable tech out there that specifically focuses on losing weight?
Because there's a 35x bigger market for it.
Percent of adults age 20 years and over who are overweight, including obesity: 69.2% (2009-2010) - http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/overwt.htm
...an estimated 1.7% of U.S. adults aged 20 and over are underweight - http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/hestat/underweight_adult_07_10/underweight_adult_07 _10.htm
I suggest you type
weight gain app osx
into a search engine. I did and one came up on the top line (no idea if it is any good, you have to determine that yourself).

Why are some text messages blue and some green

Why are some text messages blue and some green?

Blue text messages are iMessages (with other iOS and Mac users with iMessage enabled).
Green are regular SMS messages to non-iPhone users and iPhone users with iMessage not enabled.

When texting why are the messages sometimes green and sometimes blue?
