Adobe Illustrator/Export to Tiff

Expert: - 6/1/2011


Question
When I export my AI CS file to Tiff, the fonts are pixelated (I'm using Arial).  I tried changing the Document raster effects to 300 ppi and then choosing high resolution in the export box, but it didn't change anything.
Please help!!

Answer
HI Julie,

This is not an uncommon occurrence. It is not just a matter of your resolution when you export, but also the size of your artwork. If you are viewing at anything larger than 100%, it will appear bitmapped. Try enlarging your art before you export and reducing the size in PS.

Thanks
