Hi guys,
When I export my indesign document all my icons are slightly blurry.
Here are my export settings:
- Export in adobe PDF interactive / compression JPEG 2000, high quality JPEG, 300 DPI
- Original icons size: around 18KB/ PNG format
- in Indesign, effective PPI of icons is 1437 and actual PPI 72
Here is a screenshot attached (the blurry issue is with the social icons)
I would love to hear your thoughts if you think you have the solution...
Many thanks to all.

Why are you using PNGs? What are your settings in the compression tab for interactive pdf export?

Hi Boblevine,
I'm using PNGs because it's what I found for free social icon sources. Should you have a better recommendation I'm all in
Here are my compression settings:
JPEG 2000, high quality JPEG, 300 DPI

Hi Lepetitfrere:
I'd recommend working with vector files instead of bitmapped files.
For example, you can download bitmap and vector assets from twitter here: Twitter Brand Resources. And here's what they say (emphasis is mine):
Looking to download the Twitter logo? Artwork files for print (.EPS), broadcast, and web (.SVG and .PNG) can be downloaded from here.

Hi BarbBinder​
Many thanks for the link, that's super useful!
However, even with this high quality icon, my issue is still the same
At least it means icon quality are not the concern..
There should be something else that I'm doing incorrectly but what?

Hi Lepetitfrere:
Did you place the .eps file directly on the InDesign page? (Saved to your local drive, used File > Place to add it to your document?)
Have you tried printing the page? Is it just blurry on screen, or does it print blurry as well?
