Subject: Printing

I was wondering if anyone had a better way of "printing" PCB outlines
for reproduction.

I use Ultiboard as my design, routing program. It allows saving the
document to Adobe through Distiller. When I open the document (in
Acrobat) and magnify it, however, it looks as if the doc has been
saved as a somewhat rough bit-mapped file. If I just print the
diagram to my laserjet, everything looks great.

For now, I have been fixing up the jaggies in a drawing program.
Time consuming.

Anyone have a better way -- scanning in hi-res produces too big a
file btw.
