Acrobat on MacOS Sonoma 14.6.1 PDF quality downgrading

Hello,

 

First - I used the Adobe Scan tool to scan a ton of archival documents at the national archives.  Apparently the Scan App was having issues THE WEEK I was there so I also snapped photos of each page.  Since then, every time I download any PDFs from my Google Drive to my MAC and open in Acrobat Pro the quality of the PDF's are TERRIBLE.  It is very important for me to have high resolution/quality whatever because these are old documents to start with, but Arcobat seems to be making them BLURRY!  I have tried the Optimize tool and unchecked having it make the file smaller (tried both ways) I also tried "Save As Other" and chose the PDF/X option.  Essentially I need my high quality pics/scans TO STAY High Quality for Print or online usage. I spent all of last weekend removing adobe and creative cloud twice from my Mac (even after using uninstaller tool it spreads like a disease through my machine) , which resulted in having to wipe the whole machine.  Adobe is very buggy on my Mac and if I had the time to learn a new program I would switch away from adobe completely... SOOO frustrated.
