to get around the problem whether 2004 2008 if to leave the watermark out open in acrobat and insert there instead if you need in a PDF. there is a watermark and Backgrounds feature in both acrobat pro 7 or 8 that lets you add a watermark. And you can even create your own and tweak the angle to which it shows on a page.

Hi Alison:
On ANY version of Word, the "Watermark" should appear washed out on screen
because it should actually be a component of the running header or footer.
If you used Word's Insert>Watermark command to put it in, it just simplified
the mechanism of putting it in the header for you.
Word 2004 has a bug that means PDF is likely to end up pixelated.
Word 2008 has a bug that prints some vector illustrations pixelated. If
your PDF contains a vector illustration, that would be it.
The Word 2008 bug will be fixed :-)
In the meantime, if it is just a "Draft" watermark, try using the
Insert>Watermark command to put it in. This inserts it as a "WordArt" which
is actually a font-based mechanism that may produce better results.
Hope this helps

Hello, Thanks John for his help earlier on. Here's an interesting one - we
have 3 macs here in the office. I have created a doc with a watermark (using
Word 2008 on PowerPC) and it looks great on screen (solid colours and no
washout) and prints perfectly. Ant has created the same document (using Word
2008 on Intel chip) and it renders in washout on screen and prints pixellated!
On the 3rd Mac (using Word 2004 and PowerPC) it renders to screen in washout,
type pixellated on screen and it prints pixellated. Note that we have used the
same pdf to create the document. Thanks for any help, Alison
