In Firefox 25.01 for Mac OS 10.6.8, I have looked on a website at a pdf created in and exported to pdf from inDesign. The pics and text use some of the basic filters - like drop shadow and basic feather. This all comes out blocky as if it has no idea what to do with gradations. And it is chaos on the page because edges are overlapping text and so on.

It reads fine in Safari Version 5.1.10 (6534.59.10) when looked at online. It also reads fine when the pdf downloaded and looked at in Acrobat. But Firefox is totally confused.

Is there a fix?

Thanks.
