Acrobat PDFWriter renders black and white pattern grids too small

[User (Legacy)]

I'm using Access 97's report writer with Chart FX. When I preview I see 

black and white patterns at a visible resolution. If I print directly to 

the printer it again appears at a visible resolution. However, when I print 

to a PDF file using Acrobat 4.0 or 4.05 PDFWriter and then view the 

document in Acrobat the black and white patterns are too small to see. 

I know that the patterns are being drawn because patterns that are more 

black than white show up as a darker grey than patterns that are more white 

than black. But patterns that are verticle lines appear at the same 

darkness as patterns that are horizontal lines. 

Does anyone have any suggestions for how to deal with this problem?

Try turning off "Use Printing Resolution" as follows:

ChartFX1.Printer.UsePrinterResolution = False

The acrobat driver creates a device context with a huge resolution, so when

you look at it is always zoomed-out and therefore some thin lines can not be

seen.
