Hi Everyone,

My new bosses are getting really fussy about the look of our quotes we post out to our customers and i need help,

what it is ia i have a sheet with the print area set up so i can send out quotes to customers,
its a standard looking sheet


where I quote I have a very light blue background and a slightly darker blue lines
The lines are set to thin,

but when i save as a PDF the blue lines are really big, much bigger than even the think option and it looks completely different to my sheet,
to get a pdf I'm just going to save as and saving as PDF, i've not touch any setting.

Is there a way i could get this to create PDFs that look more like my sheet with thin blue lines?

I hope this makes sense and someone can help?

Thanks

Tony

Hi Tonywatsonhelp,

Change the line type to the smallest dotted. It will actually appear as a thin solid line in the PDF.
