What Steve said. All you are likely to change in the PDF is the line of code 
that instructs the printer how densely to slapp on the ink.

If you are using ghostscript to generate the PDF's it may pay to use the 
following option;

-dPDFSETTINGS=/screen

to see if this makes a difference.

Alternatevely you may wish to change the DefaultResolution value in the 
ghostpdf.ppd file.

I hve not tested these solutions myself,so they should be regarded as 
suggestions which may or may not work. Let us know how you get on.

Cheers Ross Drummond
