I recently watched a webinar on " Typography & Fonts Master Class for CorelDraw . At around the 1 hour mark someone asks if when you export to pdf and then view that pdf it looks like some of the text has thicker lines than it's supposed to be. The lady answering that question says to go into settings and uncheck the "increase the width of thin lines" which is there by default.
Please can you tell me where to find it?
This does not happen when the file is printed but it is annoying when sometimes my customers ask whats wrong with the text.
thanks
Tracey
Tracey said:I always convert text to curves when exporting to pdf as then I don’t have any font issues, but it still makes the thick lines on the text.
Could you share a .PDF file here that you think has a "thick lines" problem?
I would also like to see one of those files, please.Normally, converting to text before exporting should take care of this issue.Automatically converting text to objects during export will not, that's why I fattened "before" in my previous reply.
Glad you got it to work.Would you mind voting up my suggested answer, it will mark the thread "Answered".
Ronny is correct...
If I have a piece of Artistic text that is just the word "million billion trillion", then:
If a design (e.g., a logotype) has to have that sort of shape (a thin, vertical or horizontal rectangular curve), then some people will deliberately add extra nodes to that shape so that Acrobat does not recognize it as a "thin line".
There are a number of resources on the Internet that describe this, which is how I learned about it when I was having trouble with a logotype that had exactly that sort of problem.
