    Hi —– have art worked elaborate A4 invoice in Photoshop

    – all ok but I have a problem when exporting as a PDF to email to client

    — it displays way too big in adobe reader and the type looks dreadful —- its as if adobe reader does not interpret the ‘image size’ settings properly from PS ( ? ! )

    Hi Chris,

    is your resolution set high enough? Anything under 150dpi will look blocky (300dpi usually does the trick).
    And what do you mean with “way too big in adobe reader” – is the page size off? You can check the actual page size under File>Properties…

    Or does it just show a part of the page when you open the file.
    I don’t think there is an option in Photoshop to make PDF files display as “fit to window” by default.
