RE: SUMMARY: PDF problems on multiple platforms

[John Pitt <jpitt@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The coarse grain effect, which is carried through to hard copy from Frame as
well as in Acrobat, can be modified (on NT4, at least).

Select Start > Settings > Printers > (select printer) > Properties > Device
Settings > Halftone Setup > Halftone Setup... > Halftone Pattern 

Change the default (I think its 8x8 Enhanced) to 2x2 Enhanced, and OK out of
there.

You may need to experiment with this setting for different printers
