Hello,
I'm currently facing the same problem with version 14.2.0.26. Also the "Getting Started" sample for the PDF Viewer control is showing this behavior. So was this problem ever solved?

Hi Stefan,
We are using GDI rendering surface to render the page content of the PDF document, so the PDF document content quality may differ in different zoom values. We consider this as a behavior of PdfViewerControl. We have created a simple sample to demonstrate the same which renders the texts as a path in the Graphics. We are performing the same in our PDF Viewer control for the rendering of text elements.
However, Can you please share us the PDF document in the forum if it does not contain any confidential data?
Else kindly create a Direct Trac incident and share us the PDF document with which you are facing issue. It will be helpful for us to analyze more and assist you better on your query.
Please let us know if you need any further assistance.
Thanks,

Hi Balasubramanian,
I created an incident with a sample PDF file: https://www.syncfusion.com/support/directtrac/incidents/163178
The attached screenshot shows only a small portion of the PDF file, but you can clearly see a big difference in text quality. This is the 100% view in the "Getting Started" demo and as comparison an even slightly smaller zoom factor in Adobe Acrobat Reader DC.
While zooming definitely changes the quality, it always stays behind other PDF viewers. It's like the text gets rendered for the wrong size and the resulting image is scaled/stretched to the final size.

Hi,
just changed the Assemblys from 14.4460.0.15 to 15.1460.0.41.
With Version 14.xxx the rendering was quite good, nearly Acrobat quality a bit slower in rendering time. Now with 15.xxx ist not usable anymore, see atached sidebyside Picture.
Best regards
Mark

Hello,
Experienced the same degradation of PDF Preview using Syncfusion 16.1.0.24 for UWP. It is of low quality compared to when previewed using Adobe Reader.
I've read this has been fixed in Essential Studio 2017 volume 2. But version I'm using is more recent. Is there a known degrade again? Is issue addressed in a more recent build of Syncfusion than the version I used?
Please advise.
Thanks,
May

Hi May,
The fix we mentioned earlier for blurry issue is for PDF Viewer WPF platform. We haven’t moved any fix related to blurry text in UWP platform. Can you please share us the input document if it doesn’t have any confidential data? It will be helpful for us to analyze further and update more details. Also, can you confirm your current Essential Studio version?
Regards,
Karthik.

Hi Karthik,
I just updated to Essential Studio for UWP 16.3.0.29. Same issue occurs.
I attached file I used. Also included screenshot of file opened in Adobe Reader vs using Syncfusion PdfViewer.
This also translates to printing. The printed results is also a bit blurry.
You can really notice that Adobe Reader has more crisp rendition of the file.
Can you check?
Thanks,
May

Hi May,
We have rendered PDF pages as images using native rendering engine in our SfPdfViewer control UWP. The reported blur issue occurred while creating image from native control. Hence, we will consider this as a behavior of our control. I have shared the screenshot of the image which is rendered using native element.

I am experiencing blurry text with the ASP.NET Core version of the PDFViewer. I am using version 18.4.0.31. (see attached photo) Is there any settings that can be tweaked to improve print quality when printing directly from the control? The interesting part is, on screen the text quality looks very similar in Adobe Reader and in the viewer. I figured at first it's just a printer setting, but I've tweaked all the settings I can find with no improvement. Any ideas?

Hi Lorne
Thank you for your patience.
We will print the PDF document in default A4 size for all the page size documents, So the content in the document will gets scaled to fit it with in the size, so there may be some blurry in printing the PDF document and we are using the browser default printing settings to print the PDF document. So, we are currently checking on with high priority for improving the print clarity in our end and will update the further details on 5 match 2021. In the meanwhile, can you please share the PDF document which you have attached as image in the previous update, that would be helpful for us to analysis more and assist you better.
