Subject: Improving DocView quality for PDFs?
Date: Mon, 07 Oct 2024 07:52:27 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87wmijewqs.fsf@librehacker.com> (raw)
Hi, I like viewing PDFs inside Emacs using DocView, but the quality is noticeable lower than in Evince. It looks blocky, like it needs aliasing or something. Could I improve this with some setting changes? I see some variables like Doc View Ghostscript Options but I don't know what options I need to pass in. I see some discussions about this on the Internet but they are very old discussions with unclear guidance.
I am running GNU Emacs 30.0.91 (build 10, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.24.41, cairo version 1.18.0) of 2024-10-04.
