Hi Eugene and thanks for reaching out. Yes, there's always good advice to receive on this IN forum, I agree with you on that. I guess my rant was based on stress and confusion in addition to the technical issues I experience alot with IN, often straight after accepting so called updates. Fact is I've had more issues with IN than any other Adobe app, exept from perhaps XD. Well, these blurry issues are not static, as described they come and go with the SAME documents. So I never know what to suspect, there's no obvious thing. It often re-occurs after each app update and then sometimes settles after some weeks, or often a patch file that Adobe often release after a major update. Not uncommon to discover issues when a new version has been active for some time. It happens when I'm forced to make edits to docs and then need to re-export them, if I'm lucky things turn out looking the same as before the export but many times the pixel graphics is blurry, then I just have to wait, perhaps for a new IN update and repeat the process. Then suddenly the export turns out good. I work with classified material and I'm not at liberty to share any of it. The images aretechnical and very spesific to the content so they are classified too. You wouldn't understand the written content cause it's not in English but internet is a global thing so that rule applies for all. I'm obliged to follow them of course. I used to use a pro version of the acrobat reader but I found it a bit cumbersome and not as swift as the older and lighter Acrobat Reader Version 9.3.0. so that's what I'm using when I asess the PDF export. The export PDF settings are pretty much the very same settings I'm using for all CMYK print exports, and as mentioned some times the docs are fine in terms of pixel graphics but sometimes they suddenly appear blurry. It's straight forward. All my bitmap images for these projects are highres at 300 PPI. Images from agency photographers. The format I use when I place them in ID is normally png. I've also opened the PDF on other machines with a different Acrobat innstallment and it doesn't make any difference if its a Pro license reader or anything else. The outcome is the same. The images are blurry. I'll read your article now.
