output quality from .ps and .pdf poor

[Redvers Davies]

Hi,

I have checked through the various FAQ's and the archive but
as yet have been unable to find an answer to this question.

The problem that I have is that the output to pdf is "furry".
Text in a dvi is sharp and perfect.  The postscript is slightly furry
and the pdf is so furry its almost unreadable.

If anyone could give me some ideas as to where to start looking
I would appreciate it.

Regards,


Red

In gv turn on antialiasing.

another option is to use fonts aimed at screen preview. (I am sure
others will supply those)

I use the following as a preamble:

\usepackage{pslatex}
\usepackage[ps2pdf,pdftitle={Your Document Title},urlcolor=blue,
linktocpage,letterpaper,colorlinks=true]{hyperref}

I copied it off a web site and I am not sure how it works but it does
make my PDF look nice.

Hello,

I had this same problem in SuSE, and I also thought that in the default font
layout the text was too small when printed on paper. So now I do Layout -
Document - Fonts: Times - Font Size: 12, and it looks very as both ps and
pdf now, on paper it's very good.

Cheers,
