    Could you guys take a look at the following Adobe Acrobat files and let me know which one looks better??? Neither are particularly great because they were converted from some rather ugly Corel Draw layouts that I didn't do, but I'm trying to get a comparison for a client.

    I'm mainly concerned with pixelation of the text and graphics as you zoom in. My client says that, for him, it is really hard to read, so I'd like to see what everyone else thinks. The first one is small (about 500K) but the second is about three times that size.

    If you could let me know what your operating system is and what version of Acrobat you are using, that would help as well. Thanks!

    Weird, I had no problem with the first one. It's a little fuzzy in it's native resolution, but it gets better as you zoom.

    The second one was VERY fuzzy for me. Text got a little better through the first few clicks of the zoom, but got worse as I zoomed more.

    I'm using Win2K Pro and Acrobat 4.0

    At the same size, era1.pdf looks better.

    Preview, Mac OS X 10.2.1

    "Error reading lineraized hint data." That's from the first one.

    Win2K, IE6, Acrobat Reader 5.0.

    I'm breaking out the TiBook as we speak to have a look with that...
