  1. Not really, the closer you zoom in the better they get, maybe look at doing lighter ones? or you can play around with display performanc eon acrobat, but it doesnt really help, if you save them as jpegs after they are pdfs it puts them back to normal weights, but not as clean quality

    ANother thing is to check the page size you are using, ifs its small it will look thick and vice versa, so just make it appropriate to what you are doing, you may need different folio and presentation wegihts

  2. Thanks evie, that worked! for anyone else experiencing this problem, I changed pdf page settings from A4 to A3, the line weights still aren't perfect, but a lot better (esp. when i zoom in.)
