Adobe Reader Tweak for Readers
Of recent times I’ve been given to the dark art of reading, that is to say, actually reading, from a computer screen. A little vocalised, but otherwise immutable fact, is that reading from a computer screen is unpleasant, on account of the luminescent, backlit nature of all computer screens. Cutting this already ambling account short, I was playing around with the Adobe Reader preferences and discovered that on my Macbook the default text smoothing setting was for that of a CRT monitor, not indeed an LCD screen. Two clicks later and my electronic edition of Dicken’s ‘A Tale of Two Cities’ was looking decidedly clearer.
