In FM6, do not use the Save As PDF function (it's flakey). You have to
print to the Distiller printer instance and then run Distiller to
convert the postscript file to PDF. You can speed this up by using
Distiller's Watched Folders option.

Check your Distiller Job Options to ensure that no downsampling is
taking place and that you are not re-compressing with JPG (each time
you do, you lose some fidelity, i.e. the JPG in FM is expanded to send
all of the required bits and then recompressed into a JPG at the
Distiller end, so you're compounding any artifacts and image
degradation) -  use ZIP instead. Also, try viewing the PDFs at even
zoom values, such as 100%, 200%, etc. Are the images any clearer?
