1. Re: Vector Exporting as Low Resolution
MW Design Dec 7, 2015 12:48 PM (in response to robertc81720650)Those files have transparency by the looks of them. Try exporting as a PDF/X-4 file.

2. Re: Vector Exporting as Low Resolution
robertc81720650 Dec 7, 2015 1:03 PM (in response to MW Design)Thank you for your quick response. I've tried the following based on your recommendation:
- Exporting using the preset "PDF/X-4:2008"
- Exporting using my existing preset, selecting "PDF/X-4:2010" under the 'Standard' options menu.
In both cases the exported PDF returns the same low-quality background. Via a search through Google I also discovered recommendations for a similar issue dating back to 2012 where users recommended setting the opacity of the offending EPS file to 99.9% in order to force InDesign to render the transparency properly. Unfortunately this recommendation also solicited no change.

robertc81720650 Dec 7, 2015 1:30 PM (in response to Peter Spier)This solved the issue! It's obnoxious when I think of how often I'll likely have to re-save assets in this fashion, but it's better than accidentally printing something in that awful, awful quality. Thank you for taking the time to respond.

Willi Adelberger Dec 7, 2015 4:32 PM (in response to robertc81720650)One factor might have an influence: Raster Effect Resolution in AI files, set them high enough, so that even upscaling them would give you enough resolution and never use EPS anymore as this is a file type from the past millennium and is not used anymore.
