![]() ![]() Does this work? Not the way Hollywood does it. It’s a familiar scene: A detective asks someone to “enhance” a blurry image on a computer until it becomes clear enough to make out a key piece of evidence. We have some good news for everyone, we created a preset for InDesign that will help you export much easier PDF files so that the entire export and upload process is as smooth as possible.Can you enhance the quality of a low-resolution image? The images in the PDF should also be under 100 DPI - Save it as optimized for fast web view and not for print ![]() The PDF file must be saved in sRGB or RGB color space.įor best quality please use a PDF with an A4 page size at 96 DPI (794x1123 pixel) size The PDF file needs to be under 100 MB and 500 pages Head over to Choose Tools > PDF Standards and choose Save As PDF/A, Save As PDF/X. When exporting, the best format to save would be PDF/A or PDF/X. Other PDF export recommendations we have: We might encounter rendering problems in Flipsnack. You’re probably using too many font families You did not embed your fonts in the document when exporting. Also, read more about adding hyperlinks in our Design Studio.Īlso related to text, you might encounter issues with fonts. Note: Here’s how we auto-detect links from PDFs. Also, please verify if the text is selectable, this way you will know it will be rendered correctly in Flipsnack. Otherwise, your text will not look as crisp when zoomed in, because when using real text, this will be converted to SVG. Moving on, some other text issues you may encounter and how to fix them:īefore uploading your PDF file on Flipsnack, make sure the text in your document is inserted as text (has a font, color, and font size), not as an image. Once the text is outlined, you no longer can edit it. But keep a copy of the original file to edit the text in the future. On the "Type" menu, click "Create Outlines"Ĭlick the "File" menu and select "Save As" and you will be saving your document as a new file. Select all text (Mac: Cmd+A) (PC: Ctrl+A) This means you’re basically converting it into vectors and it can be scaled infinitely without any loss of image quality. When exporting your PDF, we recommend you check the Pages option, not spreads, as shown in this screenshot.Įxport your text as outlines. We recommend only including visible layers in the output PDF. You may have put a semi-transparent image over your text layer and this can cause trouble with how the text looks when uploading it in Flipsnack. Ĭheck to see if the text is on top: see all layers in your documents. We recommend you generate your PDF as optimized for web or linear PDF. Simplifying your layout is key, once again. This will solve your problem but it might reduce the clarity of the images. Simplify the vectors by merging similar color layers, rasterize the vector and try to upload it as an optimized PDF (the default option). If possible, please avoid transparency effects in your PDF file. Your images are not showing: you are probably using unsupported features such as frames, masks, or forms.Ī very important aspect you should be aware of: InDesign effects such as drop-shadows, glow, special strokes, or transparency may not be fully supported. Note: The images in the PDF should also be under 100 DPI - Save it as optimized for fast web view and not for print What to do: Flatten the design of the more complex pages to bitmap graphics. Now, if you remove those pages and test to see if the conversion succeeds, you got yourself an answer. Also, you can identify the more complex pages by observing which ones load slower. Vector files should look perfect even at that resolution.

Pro tip: When uploading your PDF files in Flipsnack, you basically have two options: optimized PDF and high quality.
