Create a combined Plot/ListPlot in 6 using Show having some lines with their Thickness[] increased, some points with their PointSize[] increased. Export plot as PDF or Select either the plot itself or the complete cell and Save As Selection. Open saved file in Acrobat; it looks fine (though document size is not what I want; it's just big enough to enclose the plot, and I'd like letter size). Open same file in Illustrator CS 11.0.0 on Mac (only way I know to change document or artboard size of a PDF file). Plot looks horrible: Line thicknesses are hugely thickened (though axes and frame seem OK); point sizes, oddly, seem OK; text size for tick labelsseems shrunken. Any idea what's happening here??? Seems fair to call this a bug -- somebody's not doing right by the PDF format. But, an Adobe bug or a Wolfram bug?
