Blurred PDF Files
Can anyone help. I have transferred files into dropbox some of which can be previewed but others appear as if they have a blue film over the entirety of the file and others are just blurred.
Not sure why this is happening but I need to sort it out asap.
Can anyone help please.
Many thanks Julia

Hey JuliaH1, thanks for reaching out to us here!
Just to make sure we're on the same page, can you let me know where you're previewing the files from? Eg. the website, desktop app or mobile app.
Also, if you download the file from Dropbox and use a local app to open the file, does it appear normal there?
Let me know and we'll take it from there!Hi Daphne,
I'm viewing on the website. Some files are fine but others have a blue film or are blurred and yet they were created in the same way.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Kind regards,
Julia
For several months, when scanning a particular monthly receipt, a specific page of the receipt, whether scanned indidually or as part of a batch is so blurry as to be unreadable. The page has typing at the top and bottom of the sheet, but nothing in the centre, so may be a focussing problem, but there is no way to select part of the page as the focussing point. I've tried the various suggestions on the forum (reinstall, clearing cache, reboot, etc.) without success. Phone - OnePlus 8T (KB2003); OS - Andriod OxygenOS 11.0.11.11.KB05AA; App Version 258.2.2
- Hi Megan
I preview the file on the mobile app, and then save as PDF. Both are blurred on my mobile and also the scanned image on my PC.
Thanks
Kevin
