Font bolder in pdf export...

[warbler]

So, I've chosen an elegant, thin font in my design. When I export as a .jpg, (top), it looks perfect. But, my .pdf rendering, (middle), fattens the font.

I tried to convert the font to curves before exporting, (bottom), but it's still a bit hefty. Ugh!

Any suggestions..?

It might be your PDF viewer which is making it look fatter. What is the font, and what PDF viewer are you using?

As a start, what is the font?

Ok, the font is Avenir Next and I'm viewing with Preview on a Mac.

Try two different PDF viewers, and I bet you will see a difference …

If you have Adobe Reader, try it.

Hmmm... Font is still on the pudgy side.

Oh, well. I guess I can export to psd. It's big, but very accurate.

Pdf is accurate. Did you try Adobe Reader?

No. I guess I can download it and try. Thanks.

I used the Pro version first, then tried the Std. version which is used for the screen shot.

 

AD on the left, Acrobat on the right.

Mike:

Thanks very much for all your help. I downloaded Adobe Reader and, presto, it read the font perfectly. Ok, good to know.

Much appreciated!

Hi Warbler,

 

Preview is fine in so far as it goes. There are other display issues with it too. So any time a pdf doesn't display as per AD, just use Reader. Mike

Will do, Mike. Thanks again!
