Hi Gustavo the above mentioned PDF seems to be nearly(?) ok in Preview/OSX. Here's a screenshot: http://www.jonhagen.de/transfer/Test.png viewer: Preview/OSX - clean vertical beams http://www.jonhagen.de/transfer/Test2.png viewer: AR8, OSX 10.4.9 - some but not many fattened verticals http://www.jonhagen.de/transfer/Test3.png viewer: Preview/OSX - clean vertical beams May be a problem with AR or the AR Version? The fatting of vertical beams is a well (guess) known problem with AR and some fonts, I never marked down witch fonts "I and l"s are fattened. As far as I know and can remember it does not really matter if a font is converted to paths or not. Non-converted fonts show "better" results but not perfect ones. BTW your Server is very very slow. It takes more than 5 minutes to dl the pdf, just to mention this :) cheers Jon
