Anti-aliasing in exported image

[BB_An...@adobeforums.com]

I am using Acrobat 7 Pro to convert PDF's to images (tiff or jpeg) using File > Export. The problem is that the exported images are not anti-aliased, so text and lines are jagged and ugly. Is there a way to turn on anti-aliasing when exporting? I do have it enabled in the display options.

I have Acrobat 7.0 Pro and I don't have a File, Export option.

Am I missing a step or two? Clarify please.

Perhaps you mean Advanced, Export all Images.? but I don't see a Setting for anti-aliasing there.

I think you need to set the resolution higher in the export dialog box.

Oops, I meant Save As. I have tried increasing the resolution but it makes no difference. In any case the PDFs are all vector lines, there are no images embedded in the files.

You can get effective antialiasing by exporting at a much higher resolution and then downsampling to the actual needed DPI in Photoshop with a bicubic filter. It's kind of cheating, but it's actually how modern 3d graphics cards implement full-scene anti-aliasing.

Thanks everyone for your suggestions. I will put in a feature request for this.

How do you anti-alias a raster image?
