It is a very sound idea to not use hairlines _at all_. Actually, hairlines are device-dependent, and actually the narrowest line the device can display (in other words, lines one pixel wide). Now, if you have a high-resolution device, you no longer see one-pixel wide lines.

Therefore, one should always use lines of a specified width (and preferrable not much narrower than 1/4 pt.

Hope, this can help.

I think the solution is not to use hairlines in files that you "pdf". Other
Adobe products have had trouble interpreting hairlines. I've personally had
trouble with importing Word files into Pagemaker. My (perhaps faulty) memory
was that Pagemaker needed to have a specific measurement to interpret the
line and MS Word (and other MS products) don't provide such a measurement
for "hairline".
