![]() ![]() When you export to a PDF this time all characters display correctly. Save the file, and transfer the design to Adobe InDesign, and the problem will be fixed. Do this one by one for each character affected. Using the pen tool, create two additional anchor points exactly at the halfway point of each character (making a total of 6), as pictured below. Select the “i” or “l” character that appeared thick/bold in the PDF using the direct selection tool. Open up your original logo (or other design) file in Adobe Illustrator. To fix this, is quite simple, so here we go. This fix came courtesy of an article written by ArminVit from the Speak Up archives. You can check out his original post here. Regardless, it always created a somewhat awkward situation.įortunately, I was recently sent a fix by one of my Twitter followers, and since I discovered that so many people were experiencing the same problem, I thought it would be beneficial to share it. In the past, when this had been particularly obvious in a client presentation, I would usually call the client to give them reassurance that when the design was printed, everything would be fine. It is quite strange, and something I can’t figure out why Adobe hasn’t fixed already. Also, sometimes if you zoom in or out, it goes away. If you print the PDF everything appears as normal. This problem only happens after the font has been converted to outlines and exported to a PDF. If you look closely at the “I” characters you can see that they are slightly bolder than they should be. If you are using PDF’s for client presentations, this can be a major problem that potentially could compromise the acceptance of an otherwise great design. ![]() If you are a graphic designer and frequently convert Adobe Illustrator and InDesign files to PDF’s, you have probably encountered issue with the “i” and “l” characters rendering too thick.
