The JPG/JPEG images in my PDF seems to be jagged, grayed or is low quality. What can I do?

There are two common solutions to this problem:

Solution 1
----------
If the problem is occuring when you are converting MS Word files to PDF then it may be because the images in your Word document have been resized.

There is a known bug in MS Word that occurs when you resize images (shrinking them) and then print to a screen-resolution printer such as Click to Convert.

To solve the problem, you should import images in your Word documents at the correct size and not resize them in Word itself.


Solution 2
----------
Click to Convert allows you to set the "quality" of the JPG/JPEG images that it places in your PDF files. To do this follow these steps:-

1. In the Click to Convert "Publish Settings" winodw, select the HTML options->Images item in the tree.

2. Adjust the "JPEG Image Quality" setting to a higher setting to improve image quality.

NOTE: Adjusting image quality to a higher setting also causes your PDF's to become large (in file size) so experiment to see which setting works best for you and your documents.
