PDF problem
PDF text looks blurry
SymptomText looks fuzzy when you zoom in, unlike other PDFs where it stays sharp.
Why it happens
- •The page was scanned or rasterised, so text is pixels.
- •A tool flattened the page into an image while editing or compressing.
- •Heavy compression of a scanned page.
How to fix it
Go back to the original
If a tool rasterised your text, use the original file and choose tools that keep text as text.
For scans
Rescan at 300 DPI and compress at Balanced instead of Strong.

+Does compressing blur text?
Not with MythosPDF. Text and vector graphics are never rasterised.
+Can OCR make blurry text sharp?
OCR adds searchable text but keeps the image as it is.
