Font rasterization SOLVED

[Jensen Head]

When exporting pages of a "live" PDF document, black text borders are framed with color artifacts:

Is it possible to hope that someday they will stop appearing? I mean the rasterization with anti-aliasing with hinting technology and without subpixel rendering.

Hi Jensen Head,

I have been asked to ask you what method yo are using to

export[ing] pages of a "live" PDF

Can you give us details of how you are doing this export please?

Can you give us details of how you are doing this export please?

1. Typed some text lines in Microsoft Word.
2. Saved the document in PDF format.
3. Opened document in PDF-XChange Editor.
4. I selected the "Export to Image(s)…" item on the thumbnails panel in the context menu.
5. Specified a folder and set the rasterization resolution.

Thanks for that Jensen Head.

It seems that on export we are not using the "current settings" but some defaults. We will change it to use the settings defined in the Preferences under the Page Display Category, Rendering options:

That way you can set the desired preferences in there and expect the exported images to reflect these settings. There is no ticket for this, I believe it was a simple change to make and is already done.

I hope that helps.
