Why do you produce PDF files (I assume with Print to PDF). Is there no way to copy the pictures directly.
Why do you produce PDF files (I assume with Print to PDF). Is there no way to copy the pictures directly.
I work in a music notation program called "Finale." The music pages contain many hidden designations for playback that don't appear in the printed music. For this reason, I print to PDF first before making the PNG files for the movie. The hidden items don't appear in the PDFs.Why do you produce PDF files (I assume with Print to PDF).

I'm not sure if I'd call this thread solved, but here's what I've done to decrease the blurriness. Perhaps my procedures can help others.
First, I turned my 24-inch monitor to a vertical position and brought up the individual music pages. I enlarged them to fit the screen. Then I saved each page as a PDF. I changed the default 600 dpi to 1200 dpi. I think the larger PDF and higher dpi helped. I used a free online service to convert the PDFs to PNG files. I used these PNGs in the video. I published the movie with a custom resolution (that I downloaded from a helpful site) at 1920x1080. The default resolution (for viewing on one's computer), which I initially used, is a paltry 640x480.
All this produced a video, and videos to come, that will be greatly improved from my initial effort.
Thanks to all for the suggestions and help!
Seems like the long way around the barn to me,
Seems you just need a better image editing program as already discussed,
Making a new project in this said imaging program beit free ones like Gimp/ paint.net....
Starting this new project as a 300-600 ppi or dpi/ resolution then copy to clipboard and pasting in that editing program will produce the paste with that resolution you start your project with,
Cheers.
