Hey everyone! I’m having a weird issue with text in PDFs and Google Docs. It’s all messed up and hard to read. I know disabling hardware acceleration might help, but I can’t do that on my device. Has anyone found other ways to fix this? Maybe some settings I can tweak or a different app I could use? I’m pretty frustrated and could really use some advice. Thanks in advance for any help!
I feel your pain, alexj. I’ve been there too. One thing that’s worked wonders for me is using a different PDF viewer. Foxit Reader has been a game-changer - it handles tricky PDFs way better than most browsers. For Google Docs, I’ve found that using the mobile app on my tablet gives me a much cleaner text display. It’s not ideal if you’re working on a computer, but it’s a solid workaround.
If you’re stuck on your current device, try playing with the text and page contrast settings. Sometimes bumping up the contrast can make a world of difference in readability. And don’t forget to check your display drivers - an outdated driver can cause all sorts of weird rendering issues.
Good luck sorting it out. These technical hiccups can be such a headache!
hey alexj, have u tried clearing ur browser cache? sometimes that can help with weird display issues. another thing u could try is using a different browser altogether, like firefox or edge. they might handle the rendering better. hope that helps!
I’ve encountered similar issues before. One solution that worked for me was adjusting the zoom level in the browser or PDF viewer. Sometimes, setting it to a specific percentage (like 125% or 150%) can improve text rendering. Another option is to download the PDF and open it in a dedicated PDF reader application, which often handles text display better than browser-based viewers. For Google Docs, try switching to ‘Print layout’ view in the View menu. If all else fails, consider using a screen reader extension, which can read the text aloud, bypassing display issues entirely.
