Blurred printing of PDF file on A4

clobber

Right

It's just a simple letter with few lines, date, signature and company logos on it

I bring it up on PDF online and ready it for printing and it looks ok

Press print and then comes out like its attempted a "4 times" print across the 1 A4 sheet

Every other document I have been printing is coming out fine

Don't ask me how the document was originally created as it was just emailed on to me

Tried fit page and all those usual settings and that doesn't work.

Done a pdf to word convert and it doesn't even make out the signature. Signature literally has "!$<Q" some sh1t or other like that

Any help appreciated

Download Acrobat for free, it might not fix the problem but you might be able to ensure that fonts/images are correctly embedded.

Is file size (memory) ridiculously big?

According to the downloader 237kb of 237kb lol

That's big enough to be suspect for a basic letter with logos.

The file may have been saved as an image?

yeah more than likely

definitely not basic software stuff anyway.

Any free alternative

The Continental Op

For reading PDF's you can't beat Sumatra pdf reader, don't think it will fix your printing problems though.

What I'd try is open your pdf in Word or open office equivalent then save it, Word will probably want to mess with it first then see what it looks liked printed from Word.

You were right it was a picture

Got it sorted oddly enough with a program called "Gimp"
