Different transparency flattening results

Jun 27, 2011 4:50 AM

Hi all,

 

When I flatten transparency using the [high resolution] flattener presets in Acrobat 10.1 Flattener Preview, I get flattened areas with pretty high resolutions: 1681x1681ppi, 762x762ppi. When I export my original IND-document to PDF using the exactly the same flattener presets, I flattened areas or images with a resolution of 300x300ppi (as I would expect from these presets).

 

Anyone who can explain the difference? I always assumed that both techniques are using the same underlying technology / algorithms to flatten a page (therefore giving the same end result).

 

BTW: the first situation resulted in the 'thin white lines' (artifacts) to appear on screen and in print (!) , so 'not good'.
