Hello, I use standard Adobe Reader 7.0.9 for reading PDF files, but letters of PDF text on my LCD screen appear not sharp, even I set they bigger (however, for example, when I am reading in MS Word DOC files text, it is everything OK - letters are sharp). Is there a problem with my LCD screen settings? Or with PDF fonts? If so, how to find them and how to change? Thanks, Saulius

My Product Information:
Reader 7.0.9, Windows

You have options for smoothing text in the Page Display Preferences. Open the Preferences (Ctrl/Command + K) and click Page Display in the left pane. Look at the Rendering options in the right pane and change some settings to optimize viewing on your LCD laptop.
