Seeking Solutions: Image Blurriness When Converting Word to PDF

Copper Contributor

I'm currently facing an issue where images become blurry when saving a Word document as a PDF. However, when I tried on other computers, this problem did not occur.

Here are the steps I've tried to resolve the issue:

  1. Ensuring Correct Word Settings:

    • Made sure the option "Do not compress images in file" is checked.
    • Selected a higher value for resolution: "High Fidelity".
  2. Settings during 'Save As' PDF:

    • Chose "Best for printing".
  3. Updated the Word Version:

    • Current version: (16.0.5408.1001) MSO (16.0.5404.1000) 64-bit.
  4. Compared settings between the problematic computer and the ones without the issue.

  5. Switched Word Version:

    • Changed to Word 2019, but the problem persists.

Could you please assist me in identifying any other settings that might be changed?

Thank you very much.

@Nickchang Is it only when the pdfs are viewed on your computer that there is the issue?

Yes.

But what's strange is that within the same file, there are normal images. All I need to do is copy the format from the normal images to the abnormal ones, and the original problematic images no longer have this issue. Additionally, I don't need to do this on other computers; the results come out normal there.
