In Acrobat 6 and before, if you created a document (in InDesign or Illustrator) and used a stroke thickness below 1 pt, it always displayed as a 1 pt stroke in Acrobat. This is very annoying when you are trying to show thin, elegant lines of a logo and they all come out as looking as if they are thick in Acrobat.
It looks like the opposite feature has been added to Acrobat 7 Pro (Fix Hair Lines) but this seems to allow you to adjust lines that are TOO thin to print by making them thicker.
What I was hoping was that Adobe fixed the rendering engine of Acrobat 7 so that if I make a 0.25 pt stroke (which DOES print fine), that it will actually look like a 0.25 pt stroke instead of a 1 pt stroke.
Can one of you guys that has the preview of 7.0 try this? Just go to Illustrator, make an 8.5x11 page and space out 4 lines of 4 different stroke widths: 1.0, .75, .5, and .25. You can see the difference in how they look in Illustrator but you should be able to see the same in Acrobat. In the current version, they all look the same, which really bothers me -- especially when a client needs to see the thin lines.
