GIF is great for screen shots that don't include gradients or photos. These days I use PNG but with PhotoShop at the highest quality setting I do not see artifacts in images saved as JPEG. Some other tools don't do as good a job. On Thu, Apr 25, 2013 at 11:04 PM, Syed Zaeem Hosain (syed.hos...@ae

The font is different in those two samples, and neither one of them appears to be Times New Roman. So check to be sure you are using the font that you think you are. Also, make sure that Adobe PDF is set as your default printer when working in FM, or the PDF output may not match what you see i

In addition to Mike's excellent analysis... depending on the age and type of system the original was created on, it's quite possible that the font whatever it is (and I agree with Mike, it ain's TNR), is a system font, from Apple, Windows XP, or some other vendor.
