Curious: (1) Do you have some screenshots demonstrating this issue and (2) perhaps an example PDF that others could download for the purpose of issue reproduction? (I have not seen this issue, nor am I able to reproduce this issue after repeatedly trying under Preview. I have compared it with on-screen rendering under Acrobat XI, as well.) // Preview 10.0 (944.5), macOS 10.13.4 (17E202), MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2017)

> At 100% zoom level, the type is not rendered with crisp edges. It looks as if someone had applied a mild gaussian blur. Only once you zoom in, the outlines are sharp as they should be.

a number of times.

Running on a 12" (Retina) Macbook w/ macOS 10.13.4 and Preview 10.0 (944.5).

1) Here's a screenshot (100% on left, zoomed in on the right) - https://s3.amazonaws.com/citruspi-tmp/Screen+Shot+2018-06-01...

2) PDF being used - https://cdn.beastnet.works/bfc7d34daac8e7630541d49b591b1b62/...

It also happens within the PDF viewer in Safari - text and icons look a lot crisper when zoomed in.

Same setup, 10.13.3, preview 10.0 (944.4). Unless I'm blind, no issue.
