Just maybe this is an Excel specific issue? Have you tried all the available
options within Excel?
I don';t use Excel. I do however use Gnumeric and OpenOffice Calc ( under
both Windows and Linux ). Neither appear to exhibit such an effect when
a gridded sheet is converted to a pdf with pdf2swf. Even under maximum
zoom.
