I know it's not my age (I'm only 42), but why is the print so fuzzy? I read somewhere that Adobe thought this made reading the print easier, but I think this is incorrect. When I print a document made from Reader, the print is sharp and crystal clear, unlike when I am reading it off my computer screen. Is there a way to "fix" this when I create a PDF, or should I encourage everyone who reads my PDF documents to buy a set of bifocals (if Adobe purposefully makes the print "fuzzy," maybe they should bundle a pair of bifocals in each copy of Reader)?  

Thanks,  

Roy E. Spears
