Convert Word to .pdf - Border / underline thickness problem
Hello.
On Word 2003 (and we are recently converting to 2007) I completed a file, with Excel-embedded pages inside. (Financial Statements...unlinked to outside sources. Simple 4-Wide by 20-Long calculation pages.) When I sum up a column, I create a bottom-border to show a sum-line. At the bottom of the page, the grand-total has a double-underline. I "print" to a PDF writer, and a .pdf file comes out. When I look at these pages in the .pdf, only some of the lines are good. Others are Solid Black Lines (especially the double-border line) The file is only using TIMES NEW ROMAN font, of size 11. Why would the .pdf come out so odd to look at...and how can this be fixed?

Convert Word to .pdf - Border / underline thickness problem
What happens if you actually print the document? Does it look okay then? It sometimes happens that what is displayed on the screen is a bit 'vague'. Especially if the zooming level of the pdf reader is set to less than 100%. Yves "Joe from Somerset" Joe from wrote in message ... Hello.

It sounds like it's a function of the PDF writer software you're using--I've
gotten mixed results using PrimoPDF and PDF Converter, and much better results using Microsoft's free PDF feature you can add to Word 2007 (it will be built into Office 2010, so you won't need to add it). When using the PDF printer driver, when you use Print Preview, do the lines show up correctly? -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word Bible Blog: http://word.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "Joe from Somerset" Joe from wrote in message ...
