I have need to create PDFs from Word & Excel. Works great on PC - the Mac produces extremely poor results using the "save as PDF" function (odd artifacting underneath characters in Word documents, formatting disappears from Excel files, graphics are extremely poor quality, etc...).

One Example:

I have an Excel form (11x8.5 landscape) with box lines around most of the cells. This particular one prints fine in Excel but when I export to PDF, the boxes don't show... only the text. I've tried different fonts and changing the box lines but nothing works. I have other forms (some hugely complex) that have worked great. I can't seem to find a difference but this one won't work.
