[cs5][JS] Export PDF with High quality text

[Guest]

Hello,

I'm wondering if there is a way I can enhance the text quality of a PDF I'm exporting using javascript (maybe with PDFExportPreferences?). I'm not familiar with many of the properties and not sure which, if any, would enhance the quality of the text to make it appear more "crisp"?

Or maybe this is a job for creating a PDF Export Preset? I've created a basic preset with the PDF/X1a:2001 standard but left all the default settings. I'm not sure what to change that may help?

Thanks in advance!

You could use [High Quality Print] pdfexportpreset to generate a good quality pdf. You can play around with different pdf export presets present in Indesign to see which one outputs the result that suits your requirement, or create a new preset.

Hope this helps

Thanks. I've created a preset based off of the built in Press Quality preset that seems to be very high quality - and my text looks very crisp! thanks!

Hi,

I think your Acrobat Professional preference: smooth text not enable. Can you please check this.

See below attached screenshot please selec the Smooth text.

thx

My solution to this was to use the Press Quality preset. This made the text appear much more crisp!

You must have flattening there.

If that's the case, you have two options:

1) You can export to PDF/X-4 which preserves transparency (advisable).

2) You can specifiy a high quality transparency flattener setting.
