How to Fix Blurry PDF Exports from Web Pages
Tired of pixelated text when printing a webpage to PDF? Learn how to force vector rendering.
Why Do PDFs Get Blurry?
When you use a cheap converter or take a screenshot and convert it to a PDF, the text is saved as a raster image (pixels) rather than vector data (math). If someone zooms into the PDF, the text becomes a blurry, pixelated mess.
Ensuring Vector Output
To guarantee your text remains razor-sharp at any zoom level:
- Never convert a screenshot of text to a PDF if you can avoid it.
- Use HTML to PDF or Markdown to PDF. These tools generate true vector fonts.
- If you must use an image, ensure the source image is at least 300 DPI before converting.
