This also means you can't rely on the width being the same for layout
purposes.
That's very useful to know. Then, presumably, I could experiment with
various different resolution settings in Acrobat Distiller to see the
effect on "line width" and determine the optimum line width for the
final copy.
That won't work ...
Good advice : never use zero linewidth strokes on purpose and use tools
to detect & correct such things as soon as possible. > John.
OK, they're gone ...
Thanks for the advice.
