PDFs in safari paperpile are blurry

I’ve been having resolution issue every time I open pdf in paperpile. When I open same one with Adobe, resoltuion is perfectly fine. For small letters, I have to zoom ridiculously…

Adobe:

Paperpile:

I tried different pdf viewer and Chrome was a bit better. Is this safari paperpile extensions problem?

Thank you for your report, @Youjin_Jeong. I have shared this with our product team and I’ll let you know when I have an update to share.

Unfortunately, our team has not been able to reproduce the issue, @Youjin_Jeong. Could you try the following and let us know how it goes?

From the menu bar, choose Safari.
Select Settings… (⌘,).
Go to the Advanced pane.
Check the Show features for web developers checkbox.

After that, in the Safari menu bar, you will see the Develop menu. Click on it and go to Feature Flags. Search for WebGPU and enable this flag. Let us know if it improves the rendering of PDFs in Safari.
