Terrible Print/Export Quality

[Daniel Hawkins]

Overall the technical refresh is a good improvement; alot of the problems I
had with the Beta 2 were resolved. Exporting to pdf works much better now,
except for one issue:

When I insert a file as a printout or print to ON (e.g., a PDF file), and
export the resulting document as a PDF or print it out, the quality is
terrible.

The original ON file looks great, something the TR did a good job of
improving, but upon conversion to PDF or being sent to the printer, the
quality is reduced so much as to make the text unreadable. Handwriting on
the document still looks great, but the text does not. I can attach an
example file to demonstrate if someone wishes to see.

The PDFs that you inserted into ON, did you insert them after installing
the TR or before?
If before, insert another PDF now and test your printing/export again.

All this is after installing the TR.

Again, the quality when viewing the original printout from PDF within ON is
much improved. It's when publishing back to PDF (or printing at all) that
the quality is poor.

Even when I print to file as PostScript and view the resulting file the
quality is poor. Of course, at that point distilling to PDF from the
PostScript doesn't change anything .

There is no option when printing to file or publishing to PDF adjust/improve
the quality. I'm assuming that upon printing or publishing as PDF in ON the
rasterized PDF is downsampled significantly, say around 72 dpi.

You should submit the issue via Connect
(http://connect.microsoft.com/onenote). Make sure to provide a sample
there (OneNote .one file and PDF output).
Also, post the link to the feedback here, so that we all can vote on it.
