Jagged fonts in Acrobat PDFs, but not Preview

[Chris_Kresser@adobeforums.com]

There's a huge difference between the way the same PDF appears in Preview and Acrobat. In Acrobat, the text appears jagged and chunky. In Preview it looks the same as it looked in Keynote before exporting to PDF. See screen shots here:

Preview <http://chriskresser.com/misc/preview.jpg>

The question now is - why? And is this only my machine? Here's the PDF - would someone mind checking it out if you have both Acrobat and Preview installed?

Thanks for your help,

I have a 17" MBP with display set at 1680x1050 res- I noticed the same problem a couple months ago when I first started using Acrobat Pro 8 (PDFs show jagged text/ fine lines but look fine in Mac Preview). I posted about this a while back- if anyone knows the exact settings to tweak I'd be happy to hear it. I've tried messing with the resolution and rendering prefs without any success...
