Hello everyone,

I would like to export publication-quality vector images in pdf or eps format from paraview for my article. However, I have no success even though I’ve tried everything. My figures are still looking like rasterized images (with pixels) even though I choose svg or eps. It appears that exceptions are made for text, which seems to be in vector format:

Attached you will find the original PDF file that I exported.

Would anyone be able to give me a suggestion to resolve this issue?

Thank you,

Use a very high resolution for your exports, ParaView cannot export a vectorized image.
