I just saved an .ai
file as a .pdf
and opened it afterwards to check size and quality. This is when I noticed the saved file was lower in both color and resolution, than the original .ai
file.
After some resaving and playing with settings, I decided to open the file in Google Chrome. This shows the file in full-res and with the right colors.
The question now is: Why does it do this in Preview on Mac OS X? What is the factor that kills resolution and color? Is there a fix for Preview, or should I start using a different PDF-viewer?
See the following file for an example of quality difference (Preview > Illustrator > Chrome)
