I've been a little frustrated with this. When I view a low quality PDF on a university website, zooming in/out on firefox (v34.0 and v35.0.1 on linux is what I've tried) proves that the quality could be drastically improved. The original fonts looks like the pdf-lowqual.png file below: (unable to upload images on here) http://i59.tinypic.com/169kkcw.png

While zooming in or out, the font displays as normal "hypertext" or whathave you before going back to looking ugly again, as seen here: http://i61.tinypic.com/2gvptw0.png

Is there a way to permanently display the recognized text with local or internet fonts? I assume the text is recognized as that is what allows one to select text.

Use Adobe Reader to view PDF files in Firefox or View PDF files in Firefox or choose another viewer are the current offerings for viewing pdfs in Firefox.

However, there are alternatives like embedding fonts into the pdf. I do also know that there are web safe fonts with similar function: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_typography#Web-safe_fonts
