Symptoms

After processing a file in FineReader PDF, its images look blurred.

Cause

The cause can be the MRC setting. If this option is selected, the images will be compressed using the Mixed Raster Content (MRC) compression. MRC compression can reduce the size of PDF files, although it may result in some images becoming blurry.
