No Acrobat here (only use FOSS software), but it displays fine in KPDF
(which uses the Poppler renderer), but you have to zoom in really close to
see the fine lines. I have a 1600x1200 monitor and you have to zoom right
in until it fills the screen.
Probably the problem is the lack of anti-aliased rendering, combined with
lines too thin to occupy an entire pixel's width at normal levels of zoom.
If they want to fix it they should just use thicker lines.
Or, better still, just use a HTML table and let the browser worry about how
thick the lines should be.
