imo you can't be sure that you can correctly display a PDF in a PDF viewer which was built with the idea that not all the PDF will be shown correctly. in your case, though, i think you can try to upload to the bug tracker the .sla and the resulting .pdf for testing: a line which is 5pt thick should always be displyed. and for the printshop: make sure they're using acrobat (or any professional pre-press tool) and you won't have any problem. ciao a.l.e
