Hi to all,

Does anyone know about how to make a dot matrix printer print a PDF
file with the quality of a Microsoft Word printing?

When I print from Microsoft Word, the output is perfect for the kind of
printer. But, from a PDF file, the characters are distortionated in an
uniform way. With "uniform" I mean that no matter where I put the
characters in the page, the character "e" always will be smaller than
an "a". So, when seeing the output page, and trying to read what it has
written, you realize that the characters have different heights... It
could be a matter of resolution, obviously not in the printer, but in
the PDF. So I'm wondering if there are some tasks that I could do for
accomplish it.

Thanks for reading

Daniel
