Border widths less than 1

Hi,

I don't know if this is a bug or not. I suspect not. Never the less, I would like to understand why it occurs. In my Prince-generated PDF, I have an image with a border defined as follows:

border: 0.25pt solid #666;

When I display the PDF at 100%, some of the borders are visible and some are not. However, when I zoom in to 400%, for example, I clearly see that all the borders are displayed and are the same width (.25pt in my example). Also, when I print the PDF, the borders all show up at the proper width as expected.

Do you know why this occurs? Does it have something to do with the monitor resolution? Is there any way around it?

Thanks,

Scott

This is difficult to avoid, as you are viewing a high-resolution PDF file with very thin lines on a relatively low-resolution monitor. The result will be that some lines are either dim or missing altogether, depending on how the PDF viewer displays the file. But as you can see, if you zoom in or print the file they are really there! Just smaller than a monitor pixel, that's all.

Mike,

That is what I thought. Thanks for helping me to understand!
