I have a 2 year old MBP. I'm using Word 2008 and if I create a PDF using Save As… or Print > PDF, the resulting PDF will look fantastic when viewed with Preview. However, if I open the same document in Acrobat it looks heavily pixelated.
Is there any explanation for why this is happening? Or how it can be fixed?
Thx!

Well, OS X has built in font-rendering that Preview uses, which tends to look pretty great.
Adobe Acrobat must be using their own custom software to render fonts that isn't as good. Unfortunately, it is up to Adobe to fix their font rendering. You might want to look for an Acrobat setting that enables anti-aliasing which might help.
