Adobe Won't Print Thin Lines (On Paper)

Hi All -

 

My problem is this:  When physically printing a PDF drawing (originally from AutoCAD), the thin line weights default to a thicker line.  The lines appear properly in Adobe Reader, but don't translate when printed physically. 

 

Attached are three images:

1 - The PDF as seen on screen.  Line weights look correct when zoomed in

2 - Hard copy printed from the pdf.  Line weights of the thin lines are much thicker (see gridlines and hatch around the "bridge" area)

3 - Hard copy printed directly from AutoCAD. Line weights are correct, so its not an issue with the printer's capabilities.

 

I've found that when physically printing from PDF, there seems to be a threshold where if a line is too thin, it will get replaced with a default thickness.  I can't find anywhere to fix this "setting" if there even is one. 

 

I'm using Adobe Reader XI.  My co-worker has Adobe Acrobat and I tried "fix hairlines" setting from his computer - and still no improvement.

 

Thank you for your help!
