OK. This seems like it should be simple.

1. I create a circle with no fill.
2. I fill it with horizontal lines which I have imported as a bitmap pattern (a bmp file).
3. Set File/Page options/View/Bitmaps to "never smooth".
4. Result beautiful. Circle is smooth and lines are smooth-just what I want.
5. Make pdf using Primo (Jaws does the same).
6. Result horrible. Lines are smooth but the circle has turned to the jaggies.
7. How to get both circle and lines to maintain smoothness in pdf?

Any thoughts most welcome
