I have prepared a Word document that I need to send for professional printing. They would like the file in PDF format. That should be no problem - I thought. I loaded up CutePDF and sent the document to the new 'printer'. I can see the results fine BUT my grey text has come out all grainy. I assume that something along the way is doing this as a half-tone instead of selecting grey 'ink'. I've also tried PrimoPDF and I get exactly the same results. The file may print up okay but I can't help feeling it should be possible to get better results than this.

Any brilliant ideas?
