PROBLEMS Do I assume it correcty that all this is done with Acrobat 8 (including the PS printing) ? If so, then I bet that this points to a problem with the PS interpreter in the HP LaserJet (I don't think it is an Adobe PS interpreter but a clone one) as the PDF -> PS conversion done in Acrobat 8 is pretty good. Nevertheless, in case you're willen to share that PDF file with me, I'm quite willing to investigate this a little bit more.
