Hi, 

In drawing a vector based line site plan on .ai, i am able to apply lineweights. However, when exported as a pdf and viewing it on a pdf reader or uploading it, the file lineweights become thicker or darker. When I view the pdf file on illustrator, the line weights are correct. The problem happens when i view the .pdf file on any other program or platform.

Thank you! this worked! I uncheck enchance thin lines, smooth images and checked smooth line art. This setting gave me exactly what I have in AI.
