I urge you to upgrade to the Adobe Acrobat 4.0 package for a sure-fire
solution. Made a vast improvement in the quality of my graphics and didn't
cost a fortune. But be warned that you may encounter a problem with
inconsistent table line weights, which is documented in the Adobe customer
support database.
