I once engaged in a slightly heated debate
with an Abobe apologist at one of their
online forums. My basic question was
"If my screen shots look great in Word, why
do they look bad after I distil to PDF?"

His answer was "Because Microsoft does
it wrong."

Huh?

It's hard to argue with a closed mind. Since
then, I think the Distiller's default handling 
of Word screen shots has improved somewhat,
but you can see from the Acrobat online help
that Adobe seems perfectly content with 
blurry, fuzzy screen captures in PDF.
