You can probably protect the line size in the original document (not the form fields) by first flattening it and converting the strokes to outlines in Acrobat. Tools> Print Production> Flattener Preview.

A better workflow might be to have your people complete and send you the forms, then in Acrobat, run a preflight action to flatten annotations & form fields before combining the PDFs. Tools> Print Production> Preflight> PDF Fixups. Use the Action wizard to create an easy to use shortcut.

Why do you print to PDF?

When we do our completed reports we sometimes have to put numerous forms together in one file if it is a saved form (not printed to PDF) the data that is in one form overwrite the data in the next form because the field names are the same.

You can flatten the pages in Adobe Acrobat.
