Thanks - that example works ok for me. I've still been stumped as this
one seems really pathological, but here is an example for something
which does not work on mine:
(OSX, Mathematica 5.2, Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional)
g = ListPlot[Table[{ i, i }, {i, 1, 50}], PlotStyle ->
Dashing[{0.01, 0.01}], PlotJoined -> True];
fa = Show[{g, g}];
Export["t.pdf", fa, "PDF"];
Necessary features to reproduce the error seem to be:
-joined up ListPlot
-two plotted together in Show
-dashing
-A MULTIPLE OF 50 POINTS in listplot table
This is clearly weird and I would be curious to see if this works or not
for anyone else. However it is easy enough for me to work around now in
any case (60 points!).
