Hi, when I prepare an InDesign file using "Share for Review" feature, the images are exported out rather low resolution / blurry as seen here:https://assets.adobe.com/id/urn:aaid:sc:US:913908ef-996f-4b5f-b99d-f730a011bda9?view=published

These images are quite hi-res in the original document and look fine in InDesign, but they are overly compressed when viewed in the review pane. The original source images are in PNG format.

Hi ,

Thank you for reaching out. We have received a similar request on the Adobe InDesign UserVoice, and as per the comments from our Engineering team, "Share for Review is to quickly share a design that is still a work-in-progress with the Reviewer(s) for quick feedback. Since the review opens in a browser for the reviewer, it has to load quickly even on slow networks, that’s why the image quality has been kept low deliberately so that the page loads quickly without long wait times. Using high-res views will slow down the loading of pages in the browser considerably, marring the experience". Having said that, I'll share your feedback with the team and you can do that too by posting a new request.

Thanks

Rishabh

Having the same issues, all links current. Even played with my view settings, etc. with no luck. Any updates here?

Hi careapp,

best do a bug report at:

https://indesign.uservoice.com/forums/601180-adobe-indesign-bugs

Also come back when done and post the link to the report so that we can vote for fixing this.

My assumption is that InDesign has a problem with the high value for effictive ppi in your case.

That's not normal!

FWIW: Are you able to export to PDF with option [Smallest File Size] and not see this issue?

I assumed that was normal, a rough draft to review content that dowloads really quickly.

Hi Eric,

I would expect some compression to occur in order to make it download quickly (say 80% or 85% quality). But in my example it looks too compressed (more like 10% or 20% quality) and it's difficult to get any proofing or review done with it.
