I'm a patent illustrator. I work exclusively in pdf's. A client asked me to send a set of drawings as jpg's. I purchased acrobat pro, and ran a conversion to jpg. All of the drawings that are b&w came out stepped (pixelated) with shadow artifacts. Is there any way to conver pdf to jpg and keep the same resolution and not create ghosting?

Why are you using JPEG if you want high-quality images? Use a lossless format, such as PNG.

When exporting PDF from Illustrator, available lossless formats are JPEG2000 and Zip.

They are using Acrobat, though. Illustrator is the name of the profession, not the application they're using.

When saving as PDF, click the Settings button.

Set high resolution. That's the best you can do -- raster files of line art won't look as smooth as vector line art.

Thank you for your reply. I now know I cannot use acrobat to save as .jpg. They look terrible. I found a way to do it through my CAD software.
Thanks!
