Do you get the same result if using the PDF conversion tool in Office (after installing the add-on, of course)?

Can't say I've seen this before. If you are using a custom image, it might be worth messing with its resolution before setting it as a watermark/background image.

That's different if you're using colours. Would just a single colour look OK if all goes to the worst?

Subject: Word 2007 - Creating your own PDF files from Word 2007

Word 2007 can print directly to a PDF file without needing other software (such as Acrobat)

You need to go here to download and install this free add-in tool from Microsoft:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=4D951911-3E7E-4AE6-B059-A2E79ED87041&displaylang=en

After it is installed you can create a PDF as follows: “Office Button | Save As | Save as PDF”. The office button is the round button in the top left-hand corner.

have fun

another alternative is to install pdfcreator from sourcefourge and PRINT to it

If it don't work then check if a print preview problem

You could try increasing the size of the graphic image - put lots of white space around it so that it physically takes up more space on the page.
