As I said in an earlier thread, my client in Florida insists that dotted lines that I put in my PDFs do not show up. Here is a screen shot of the PDF, with the lines showing, on my computer.

Can you see these lines? Can I send a PDF to any of you with Windows, to see if they show for you?

I see the lines in your pictures. I thought we went through this once and it all got resolved.

So did I. But Burt says that he still can't see them.

I thought it was an error with the Mac's PDF creator.

Try making the dashed lines thicker and see if there is a difference.

Try Save As PostScript from the PDF menu, then open in Preview and save as PDF.
