Evince blurs PDFs by default (see comparison image). Is there a way to disable this behavior? Bonus points for a solution that works on a per-document basis.

  • In the image, I meant "viewer" not "editor."

  • Can you post an example PDF that has this issue? Preferably the PDF you show above.

    Can you add evince and poppler version to your question? (You can check it on Evince: Help->About).

  • @user4124: Any PDF will demonstrate what I am talking about. @sergio92pt: Version 2.32.0.

    What are your settings in Appearance->Fonts->Rendering? Also, what is your "other viewer"? On the same OS?

What are your settings in Appearance->Fonts->Rendering? This may be an OS setting, not the reader's fault.

OP's answer: Disabling "sub-pixel rendering" in Appearance -> Fonts -> Rendering "fixes" the blur.

  • I don't see that setting. I'm using GNOME Document Viewer 3.26.0. Do you know how to do it nowadays?
