| Summary | 0002486: Change meaning of "Quality" in PDF Export | ||||
| Description | In PDF Export, the "quality" option determines the amount of compression applied in certain instances. The tooltip correctly reports that "high" quality == maximum compression. The user who does not read tooltips could be forgiven for thinking that "high" means best quality, i.e. mimimal compression. This meaning of quality appeared in earliest versions of Acrobat Distiller, but was changed a long time ago by Adobe. Perhaps the option also ought to be labelled "Image Quality." | ||||

In scribus 1.3.3, it says "Compression quality" and not "Quality". However, you are right, "Compression quality==maximum" can be easily misunderstood. I think, the label "Compression level" would be more appriopriate. |

Howard: would you agree that this issue could be merged with 2277? You could add your remarks there and we would close this one as duplicate. |

Feel free to merge with whatever and change the wording to whatever makes sense and is consistent generally with words that would be familiar to a contemporary Acrobat user. |
