yep teh "L"s are goofy on my end too.. both browser view and in Acrobat.. but looks fine in Preview.
nothing new to me, i see it all the time. embed the font or rasterize.
that's all i got.

here's a demo...
I usally go into a lengthy description about how the rectangle (L) is just between pixels... blah blah blah.
But I'd rather it just display properly.
you live on the shore too?

its not just client side.. i see it all the time with my own PDFs in Acrobat. complex vectors with strokes also display like a dog in Acrobat.
if you're on a mac view the PDF in Preview and i bet the issue will be gone.

but it's okay when you zoom in? tell them to zoom in. or print the bastard.

I've only ever run into this with this job, and with logos where type is converted to outlines (and usually monekyed with for true logo-class type).
it's just a pain in the neck..
correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this a client-side setting?
if I turn smoothing off will it still appear un-smoothed on
my clients machine?

HAHahhaa oh god, that seen from Airplane is going through my head where everyone is lining up to smack that lady.
" i said 'smooth line ART'!!"
*smack!"kern that copy!
*smack"send someone the file to check your settings!"
*smacketc.

rasterize tha biatch.
or export to jpegs and tell client to F-themselves.

Liquid: both lineart and type smoothing are checked. Type is in outlines (therefore lineart)... no problem when it's plain text.
file's 50 Megs, not sure I'd want to send that over the ole' email.
as for just being my machine:
I've gotten comments from a couple clients that they see it too... maybe I'm saving something weird?...will make a smallish file to demo.

well he aint payin attention....
*smack
PAY ATTENTION

HAHahahaa i love how liquid sounds like he's gonna smack the person he's trying to help.
"LET me help you dammit!"
*pssht!*

just looked at your example.. pretty common with vertical lines ("L"s etc)...
are you sure you can't just leave the text live/ not outlined and allow PDF to embed the font. with the example you got there, seems to be the way to go.
- mayo0
I'm guessing it's the limitations of the program and/or your machine. tell them to print it out.
- liquid0
ok that was smooth text...you have to look for smooth LINE ART...
and can you send someone the file to see if its JUST YOUR SETTINGS??
- monNom0
sorry, that was to liquid.
is there really no way around this?
