Dear Users,
I have to submit my manuscript in .pdf, and the university
publisher/print will print it.
I tried three methods to produce a .pdf file from my .lyx file. Using
ae fonts as explained in the LyX manuals dvipdfm, pdflatex and ps2pdf
all produced beautiful fonts on the screen using Adobe Reader. However,
when I printed these .pdf files from Adobe Reader the printed texts were
of different quality. Pdflatex produced weak quality, the fonts were
"ragged", discontinuous and not black enough. Ps2pdf was better and
dvipdfm was the best.
LyX for Windows 1.5.2
Adobe Reader for Windows 8.1
Xerox Phaser 3117 test printer (this is not the publisher's printer,
of course)
My questions are:
If I use the same (ae) font, how can the printed text be different? (The
printer is the same.)
Why is it that dvipdfm and pdflatex produced about 4 MB .pdf files,
ps2pdf produced a 5,5 MB .pdf file?
Which method appears to be the best for such a situation when the
print does not ask for a printed manuscript but for an electronical .pdf
one?
Many thanks in advance for your help.
