I've found the Adobe reader sometimes works best with images at 72 dpi, the native resolution for Macs (conspiracy theory, anyone?).

Impossible to ensure 1:1 image size for those images that naturally fit!Ĭ) The most egregious problem is that it seems impossible to ensure that text bubble size are consistent throughout a document!ĭ) For the bubble text, I need to use a font size of about 32 pts. There are several problems with these changes:ī) It is very difficult to accurately control the rendered size in Flare. Note: The only way I seem to get perfect results is by changing the following steps (changes in bold):Ħ) Flare Print Format tab - Select Enable Print Format, Format: png, Print dpi: 300, Lock DPIĤ) Image Effects tab, change background scale until the image fits correctly on page - in the example below, I used 1.85 to obtain the desired fit but right-click and select Edit with MadCap Captureģ) In MadCap Capture, right-click on image and select Properties.Ĥ) Image Effects tab, change background scale until the image fits correctly on page - in the example below, I used 0.6 to obtain the desired fitĥ) Format tab - select Format: PNG, print DPI: 96 (this seems to be default and maintains a 1:1 ratio), Lock DPI (default)Ħ) Flare Print Format tab - Select Enable Print Format, Format: png, Print dpi: 96, Lock DPIħ) Save Image (Flare document immediately updates) This is my workflow (this method is necessary to ensure that Capture bubbles are always the same size):Ģ) In the case of an over-sized image, leave size alone (in Flare). Huge loss of fidelity when PDF is published (both resolution/clarity is lost and even color has changed) The HTML version images are exactly as captured. There are many posts about this but none of them appear to come to a definitive solution.īecause I have focus on the HTML version of my documentation, one of my reviewers just asked why my screen captures are all so fuzzy in the PDF format (at 100% or any other zoom rate). Forgive me for rehashing a common issue that appears to go back to earlier than 2010.
