Need FIX PLEASE...
Trying to convert my resume to pdf. I have a skills matrix table with black borders throughout,
with several subheading rows shaded light grey with just outline black borders.
However whenever I convert it to pdf it shows NO top cell border for the shaded heading rows:
* Word > Save As > Pdf
* Word > Print > PrimoPdf (even tried properties > advanced > dpi 2400) > Custom
* Word > Print > CutePdf Writer (even worse)
* www.pdfonline.com > Word to Pdf (even worse)
* Nitro Pdf Reader > Convert From File > (even worse)
* http://www.wordtopdf.com/ > email: Sorry, an unexpected conversion failure occurred when converting your file.
It seems to display better at 300%, but lines are still not quite right (even at 2400%), but who views pdf's at this zoom?
There's a work-around here ...IF... you have Adobe Pro & have the time & patience to edit every messed up line in the converted pdf:
