Jenniffer,

Windows versus Macintosh is irrelevant here.

When you say "documents print out with the fonts/type screened" what exactly do you mean? Are you saying that the text is printing out with something less than 100% black, for example 60% black? Or do you mean that the text is
coming out pixelated as if it was rasterized before being printed?

Is the phenomenon 100% repeatable? Do the same pages print the same way if printed multiple times? Or does this vary?

You might want to examine the text with a plug-in such as Enfocus PitStop to see exactly what the color attributes are for the text in question.

Finally, what version of Acrobat are you printing from?

>The problem is: Some pdf documents print out with the fonts/type screened. It is 100% black on the monitor but prints screened. Is this an issue on our end or the end of the customer. This is not a 1 time problem. We receive different files from different customers that this happens with. We have even received a multi-paged document that printed with some of the type printing at 100% black on some pages and some printing screened on other pages. What can I do??? At this point I am totally frustrated!!!!!
