Hi,
Using Lyx in Suse 9.1. How do I change the quality (is that the same as resolution?) of pdf output? The default seems quite chunky. How does it work? I recall from Windows/Acrobat that you can change the output resolution.
I don't know your exact problem, but _the_ most common pdf problem is that the default computer modern fonts gets embedded as bitmaps, and adobe acrobat is lousy at displaying that. This makes for real ugly, chunky text on screen. (Printing fares a lot better.)
The quick and easy solution: layout->document and select any other font than default. "pslatex" tend to be okay.
If you want the default computer modern font in pdf, then install a postscript version of this font. I don't know where to get it or how to do it, but it exists.
If you really need to change pdf resolution, run texconfig. You'll get
menus for changing a lot of things in your tex setup, including the resolution
options for dvips, dvipdfm and pdftex. A pdf from lyx is usually made using
one of those three. Doing this is probably a good idea anyway, set the
resolution to match your printer.
