    We produce A4 size Autocad 2006 drawings for a client who then
    sometimes prints them to pdf for distribution to his customers. We have
    found a problem though - some (not all) of the drawings do not display
    on screen clearly when they are printed to pdf at normal screen size.
    If you zoom in, you can see the lines are all there and clear, but at
    full size it looks like there are gaps in the lines and text missing.
    If the same pdfs are printed on paper at A4 size, they're fine and
    everything is present and correct.

    Our customer uses Acrobat Distiller, we've been using PDF995. The
    results appear to be the same from both.

    I have studied the plot settings for 'good' and 'bad' drawings and
    can't see any difference. I have tried increasing the resolution when
    producing the pdf, but that makes no difference either.

    Is there any solution to this? Any help gratefully received.
