It sounds like your colleague's using Acrobat's default compression
settings, which are -- to use a highly technical term -- icky. For a really
thorough explanation of how Acrobat's compression settings work, visit
http://www.adobe.com/prodindex/acrobat/qa.html and go through the articles.

The monthly Q&A section alone is worth the magazine's weight in gold.
