How to display graphics clearly on screen and on print?
Subject:How to display graphics clearly on screen and on print? From:"Yvette, Denoga" <Yvettedenoga -at- crimsonlogic -dot- com> To:<techwr-l -at- lists -dot- techwr-l -dot- com> Date:Tue, 8 Aug 2006 11:16:36 +0800
Hi everyone,
I'm about to release a PDF manual that will have users who will print it
and also view it from their computers.
Initially, the screen captures I provided were blurry when I printed it.
So, with a bit of tweaking I got to provide better GIF screenshots in
256 colors that printed well in a PDF.
Now, the project team wants me to also ensure that when they open the
PDF in a computer screen (e.g., 15-inch screen), the screenshot should
also display well.
Currently, it doesn't display as clearly on screen as it does on print.
But since I'm no graphics expert, is there a way I can have a crisp
screen capture even on screen (at 100%)? I'm not sure if such a setting
exists.
These are the tools I use: SnagIt 8.0, Word 2003 SP2 (original doc),
Adobe Acrobat Professional 7.0.7, and PDF Maker from Word to create
PDFs.
