Question

Thicker lines around PNG when printing to PDF

Hi Guys,
 
sorry for this (most probably) very dumb question.
 
While creating stuff for my school project in InDesgin, everything is nice and looks the way I intended to.
However; when printing to PDF, all of a sudden I got lines to appear thicker in some places (as shown on the picture). The Flower is in PNG format.
 

 

Do you know why is this happening ?
 
many thanks

The flower design would look much better if it were created in vectors, preferably with a drawing program like Illustrator. This would give you total control of line width. Vectors create clean line art that can be scaled up and down, while retaining the line quality.

 

PNG is a bitmapped (raster) format composed on pixels at a particular resolution. The thickness of the lines in the flower will vary depending on how the pixels in the image are reproduced, they are not going to be standardized.

    Entschuldigung... 1. blöde Frage: aber wie meinst du das "beim Drucken als Pdf", erstellst du das Pdf aus dem Export-Dialog oder aus einem Druck-Dialog?

    2. blöde Frage: kannst du diese Grafik nicht als Vektor importieren oder einfügen? Es handelt sich ja eigentlich nicht um eine komplexe Grafik oder Foto was pixelbasiert sein muss... Dann ist vielleicht dein Problem schon gelöst!

    Ansonsten, hast du schon versucht deine Grafik anstatt als .png als .jpg oder .psd zu importieren?
