MATLAB: How print a GUI to pdf with good quality

MATLABmatlab guiprintf

I want to print a GUI to pdf. I use the following code:

print(f, '-dpdf', 'Filename.pdf')

where f is the handle of the GUI. However the quality of the pdf is not satisfying. All the texts are a bit blurred. What can I do to improve the quality?

You can increase the resolution by adding '-r600' (or higher number) as an additional argument.

This is a limitation in printing Java components in MATLAB. Java components are converted to bitmaps at the beginning of the print process. Bitmaps do not scale well, so when the figure is then scaled for printing, the jagged edges of the text become exaggerated.

There are no workarounds that produce high-quality printouts of Java components from a MATLAB figure window.

By making sure that the figure is not scaled for printing, you might achieve more optimal results.

MATLAB: Save specific portion of GUI screen

ctl = findall(gcf, 'type', 'uicontrol', '-regexp', 'Style', 'checkbox|pushbutton');
ctl_state = get(ctl, 'Visible');
set(ctl, 'Visible', 'off');
print(gcf, '-djpeg', fileName);
set(ctl, 'Visible', ctl_state);
