Absolutely. Checkout Screen Captures 102. In particular, the parts about
PDF.

From: Jennifer Maitland [mailto:jlm -at- kwi -dot- com]
an anyone tell me why the PDFs I create look fine when printed out, but
terrible on screen? I don't really have any images in them, but the
fonts
are fuzzy and the flow charts have some thick lines and graininess.....
I've
recently upgraded to Acrobat 5 (on Windows 2000) so I thought that would
do
the trick, but it hasn't. A lot my audience is likely going to want to
just
view this stuff on screen as a quick reference, especially some of the
flow
charts.

I've played around with the Distiller settings for the past half hour
and
cannot make a better looking on screen PDF - any ideas?

Your help is very much appreciated, thanks!
