Liquid: both lineart and type smoothing are checked. Type is in outlines (therefore lineart)... no problem when it's plain text.
file's 50 Megs, not sure I'd want to send that over the ole' email.
as for just being my machine:
I've gotten comments from a couple clients that they see it too... maybe I'm saving something weird?...will make a smallish file to demo.

rasterize tha biatch.
or export to jpegs and tell client to F-themselves.

HAHahhaa oh god, that seen from Airplane is going through my head where everyone is lining up to smack that lady.
" i said 'smooth line ART'!!"

I've only ever run into this with this job, and with logos where type is converted to outlines (and usually monekyed with for true logo-class type).
it's just a pain in the neck..
correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this a client-side setting?
if I turn smoothing off will it still appear un-smoothed on
my clients machine?

but it's okay when you zoom in? tell them to zoom in. or print the bastard.

hey i just noticed... another NV kid on NT. this place is littered with Shore folk.

are you talking about me?

its not just client side.. i see it all the time with my own PDFs in Acrobat. complex vectors with strokes also display like a dog in Acrobat.
if you're on a mac view the PDF in Preview and i bet the issue will be gone.

here's a demo...
I usally go into a lengthy description about how the rectangle (L) is just between pixels... blah blah blah.
But I'd rather it just display properly.
you live on the shore too?

your clients have to have smotth line art on as well

yep teh "L"s are goofy on my end too.. both browser view and in Acrobat.. but looks fine in Preview.
nothing new to me, i see it all the time. embed the font or rasterize.
that's all i got.
