Please do not enhance thin lines, Adobe

Just found a solution for a issue that has been bothering me and many of my friends, for as long as I've known what a vector drawing is.

Since I'm a vector fanatic this is great news.

Ok, here it is:

You know when you open a nice vector drawing in Acrobat and it looks messy with all fat lines, like image no.1, but in your vector software it looked fine, like image no.2

Just go to Edit/Preferences/Page display/ and make sure that enhance thin lines is un-checked. Problem solved forever, but unfortunately only on your machine, i.e. it doesn't apply to the document.

Path Area Illustrator

for you guys who draw in Illustrator I found a helpful plugin which calculates the area of paths.
Download from here (the cs4 version works fine on my cs5)
extract the .aip-file and drop it in the plug-in folder, found in:
Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe Illustrator CS5/en_GB/Plug-ins

Select a path in an llustrator-file, go to Object/Filters/Patharea and there you go.
