PDF bad resolution export

[Thomahawk]

1.8.6 on mac 10.15

In most of my cases: There is a document DPI always set at 300dpi. There is a PDF output DPI set at 300 or 150 dpi. There are images on page, all looking perfectly fine in resolution high enough to even zoom in and still looking crisp in afDesigner. But for some unknown reason, all too often, some images in exported PDF documents have bad resolution.

Yes, I have images with different DPI settings, there can be 72dpi images placed on page 20% size f.e., there can be 600dpi images placed on page 300%size. THIS DOES NO HAVE TO MATTER. What is looking crisp on layout, has enough resolution to still look crisp in the exported PDF

But in my case, those wrong rendered images in PDFs look like 20dpi or less.

VERY UNSETTLING

With what export settings do you experience that?

Hi Thomahawk,

Can you supply some example AFdesign files, the resulting low quality PDFs and any screenshots that support the results you're seeing (so we know where to start looking), along with what PDF settings you're using to export.

Without this we cannot investigate the issues you're seeing.

I see the same thing.  I was hoping 1.9 would fix it, and it doesn't seem to .
