boxes in publisher out of alignment in PDF

[shazza71]

I have created a form (tinted background with white out boxes). Looks great on screen and printed out. But when I publish to PDF the boxes don't line up (only very marginally but still obvious to the eye). They look ok printed out but not on screen (and I need it for the web). When I have zoomed in to 800% all the boxes look in alignment. Is it something I am doing or not doing when I create a PDF? Thanks

Have you checked the location of them? In the properties dialog box, not by sight.

yes I have checked them against the guides. I have also clicked on them and checked all the details in the properties box and they are exactly the same size and starting at the same height - but don't look that way on the PDF.

Is this form something you can share?

Have your tried looking at the PDF using different screen resolutions? with Acrobat Reader in Full screen, and in a window ? when you say it looks OK when zoomed to 800% sounds like its a display artifact, not a problem in the document. also, there are known issues with versions of Acrobat Reader in IE 7 and IE 8. what versions of Reader and IE are you using ? If you bring up the PDF in Acrobat Standard or Professional, and then Save it again, is the problem still present ??
