Text in pdf looks bold or doubled. Why?

[KathyMcInnis@adobeforums.com]

Hello out there. I work with Adobe Acrobat 6, Quark 6.3 and Illustrator 10.
When I save files as pdfs in Illustrator with fonts outlined, some text looks bolded or doubled in the pdf file when opened in Acrobat. Does anyone know why this is happening and what I can do to fix the problem?

Thanks for any help. :)

Don't outline the fonts. That is thickening the font strokes. It's not necessary if you're embedding the fonts in the PDF which Illustrator will normally do.

Hi Steve,

That's simple enough.

Thank you.

Have a great evening.
