Keith,
You may be looking at an artifact of screen resolution or printer resolution. Are the lines different thicknesses on-screen if you enlarge the view to 200% or 300%?
Are they different when printed at 600 or 1200 dpi rather than 300 dpi?
Are you using the Distiller print driver or are you using a print driver for a 300 dpi printer in your office?
Try changing the driver and the dpi setting. If that doesn't work, import the document into Frame- or PageMaker and try again.
I am attempting to create a .PDF file from a word document. My problem is
that underlined text within the .PDF file is inconsistent throughout the
document (i.e., some lines are thicker than others). Is there a way to fix
this? My document uses black lines (no color)...
