Whoa, Distorted Text

Hopefully this will never happen to you, but sometimes Adobe Acrobat Reader displays ugly looking text. This is a rare occurrence and there is a way to fix it.

From within Acrobat Reader, both Windows and Macintosh users can click the File menu, then Preferences, and finally General. This will open a new dialog box with a bunch of options on it. The one we are concerned with is "Smooth Text & Images." Just make sure that box is checked and click "OK." This will ensure that all your text looks like the paragraph below and to the right, not the garbled one to the left.
