PDF Proofs – Removing the White Lines in the Proof

These days, PDF Proofs have come a long way and are very accurate. Not to mention they save a few dollars as well as a tree or two. Often times on a PDF proof clients will see white lines around images and text. WHAT? Is my proof bad? Is the print design project we’ve worked so hard on not going to print well? Of course not. No worries. Relax, it’s just a preferences setting in Adobe Acrobat! Here is the tip if you get white lines around your PDF proof and are worried its an issue with the design:

If you get the white lines go to Adobe Acrobat and open: preferences > page view > rendering > and deselect “Smooth Line Art” and “Smooth Images” > click save. Check out the screenshot.

Done. Now you are looking at you paperless, perfectly accurate, PDF proof. Thanks for thinking of the environment. Pat yourself on the back.

Does your printer use PDF proofs? Does your printer recycle all of their waste? Do they use veggie based inks and belong to the Forest Stewardship Council? Our printers do. Need a quote? Contact us today for a quote on your next print project! (We can design it too.)
