My Indesign CS6 files appears pixelated on my Macbook Pro (2017 version)

The texts that I typed and the vector graphics that I created are appearing pixelated, and I have already chosen Display Performance as High Quality Display under my View tab. What other options do I have to adjust this Display setting? Please help.

CS6 is not and never will be optimized for use on Retina displays.

You might also have additional issues running InDesign CS6 under recent Mac OS's such as El Capitan.

Bob Levine is correct...that version of ID wasn't optimized for the Retina displays, so everything will look pixelated on your MacBook Pro. When I run that version, it looks fine when viewing a document on my aging Apple Cinema Display, but awful when I move that same file to my MacBook Pro (2013).

...so there isn't a 'solution' to this kind of situation per se? I either upgrade myself to Creative Cloud for a newer version of indd or, bear with this pixelated viewing quality.
