In Visio 2007, you get a dialog box when you SaveAs PNG.
I set the resolution to 240 or so -- the pixilation is likely to show up if
you accept the default setting of Screen.
In any case, try boosting the resolution.
AND... does anything else look poor in the PDF? If so, you may want to look
at your job options for compressing graphics and dial them down.
