The only thing that can possibly make sense here
is that this is a version problem in the software
we are using to convert the PostScript file to a PDF
file.
I am using Adobe Acrobat Pro, version 9 to do the
conversion. I've tried the conversion with several
different combinations of settings and I always
get a clear PDF file.
Of course, there is always the possibility that
the software we are using to *view* the PostScript
and PDF files are screwing it up. We are not, after
all, looking at the original data, but the representation
of the data as presented on the display. The proof,
I suppose, is what happens when we print the file,
since this is the purpose of PostScript output.
Cheers,
David
