Hi,

I made a simple sketch and I want to export PDF File, but when the pdf is out is blurred.If I open the file in illustrator there is un full resolution, but if I use the pdf for a print is already blurred.

```auto
import processing.pdf.*;

String filename() {
  int d = day();
  int m = month();
  int y = year();
  int h = hour();
  int mi = minute();
  int s = second();
  String filename = nf(d, 2) + nf(m, 2) + nf(y, 4) + nf(h, 2) + nf(mi, 2) + nf(s, 2) + ".pdf";
  return filename;
}

void savePDF() {
  beginRecord(PDF, filename()); 
  background(w);
}

void closePDF() {
  endRecord();
  println("PDF Salvato " + filename());
  record = false;
}

```

```auto
void draw() {

  //background(w);

  // AutoSave mode
  if (autoSave) if ((frameCount % autoSaveSec) == 0) record = !record;

  if (record) savePDF(); // START recording PDF

  preview.beginDraw();
  render(preview);
  preview.endDraw();
  image(preview, 0, 0, width, height);

  if (record) closePDF();// END recording PDF
}

void render(PGraphics gfx) {
  for (Cella c : cells) {
    c.edges();
    c.move();
    c.modeColor(gfx);
    c.display(gfx);
  }
}

```

Since I’m not familiar with your specific application, it would be helpful if you posted the complete code for your program.
