How do I publish a PDF with hairline penset weights?

Issue Description

5. Check the Hairline option.
   
6. Click OK to close the Document Options dialog
7. Enter your filename and click Save.

Method 2: Using the Publisher

1. Open the Publisher from the Navigator/Organizer.
2. Select or create a publisher set for your PDF output.
3. Right-click and go to Publishing Properties.
4. Ensure the publishing method is set to Save files and format is set to PDF
5. Close the Publishing properties dialog.
