Crescendos and other non-horizontal/vertical lines jumbled in PDF
Moderators: Peter Thomsen, miker
Hi,
I have a problem with my PDF prints. Non-horizontal/vertical lines (like cresc, ties, vibrato waves etc) look absolutly horrendish. Printed on paper, however, they look nice and neat. How do I get the same result on PDF? Right now, I use Microsoft to Print with 600 dpi, but even with a different printer up to 4200 dpi, it gave the same result.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

Printed on paper, they look nice and neat, yes. How do I get the same result with the PDF on screen?

PDF is a vector format, so DPI shouldn't matter much, if at all.
Attached is a zipped PDF of some crescendi I made. It looks good with Adobe Reader on my screen. Try it and report.

Yes, I have exactly the same settings.
Note that I only have those jumbled lines when I zoom out (Ctrl + L; full page view). When I zoom in it looks perfectly fine.
It wouldn't bother me as much if I wasn't trying to make a nice looking score video using screenshots of my PDF.
Maybe there's a better way to do this instead?
