Exported Word Document to PDF Becomes Blurry

Hello everyone,

I have a question regarding my Word file that I am trying to convert to PDF:

My Word file is of good quality; I zoom in all the way and everything is perfect (the text + images). As soon as I create a PDF copy and zoom in just a little bit, certain text areas + images are already of poor quality. Do you have any ideas on how to fix this? I tried saving my PDF via printing but that doesn't work. Also, when saving the Word as a PDF, I tried modifying the image compression settings in the tools. I selected "High fidelity"... but without success.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Hello
How do you "generate" this PDF file?
In Word, do you use the File menu, Export, and then the Create PDF/XPS button?
See you!

If my answer helped, a little thumbs-up would be great... If resolved, that's perfect.

Hello,

I tried using this method by going to "File", "Export", "Create PDF/XPS" but it doesn't work. The document is still just as blurry when zoomed in. :/

Thank you for your help!

Have a great day!

Hello,

I just did a comparison between a Word document and its PDF export.
The quality is practically the same. However, there is a slight loss of definition in the PDF, noticeable when zooming in very closely.

When you perform the export, there is an Options button in the save window.
Make sure that the quality of the text and images is optimized:

Hello,

Thank you for your message.

Yes, I did check "Optimize image and quality," but when I zoom in a bit, the document becomes blurry. It's surprising because these are vector images. I wonder if there's a solution to avoid this. :/

Have a nice day.

I ran another test with a vector shape in the Word file.
I don’t see any blurriness in the PDF I exported.

So I don’t have any explanations for now.

Feel free to raise the issue. Maybe someone will have the solution.

Have a nice evening!
