copied!<p>Switch <em>Screen Environment</em> to "Printout" (menu <code>Format -> Screen Environment -> Printout</code>) and this graphics on-screen will look exactly as it looks in exported PDF. Do not resize the graphics inside Notebook by hands! Just increase magnification to see fine details.</p> <p>The reason for this behavior is that <a href="http://groups.google.com/group/comp.soft-sys.math.mathematica/msg/7f5cb9e2d4677855" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><code>Export</code> in Mathematica uses by default the "Printout" screen style environment rather than "Working" when exporting to PDF</a>. </p> <p>P.S. This question is related: "<a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6093559/how-to-export-graphics-in-working-style-environment-rather-than-printout">How to export graphics in “Working” style environment rather than “Printout”?</a>".

Try <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6093559/how-to-export-graphics-in-working-style-environment-rather-than-printout/6093783#6093783">the solution suggested by Mr.Wizard</a> if you wish to export graphics as it looks by default.</p> <p><strong>EDIT</strong></p> <p>More clear example:</p> <pre><code>g1 = Graphics[{White, EdgeForm[Directive[Thick, Black]], LightGray, Rectangle[{1, 23}, {2, 27}]}, Epilog -> {Inset[ Text[Style["Information Here", FontSize -> 50]], {1, 25}, {Center, Top}, Automatic, {0, 1}], Inset[Text[Style["some more stuff", FontSize -> 50]], {2, 25}, {Center, Bottom}, Automatic, {0, 1}]}] </code></pre> <p>Try to switch between <em>Screen Environments</em> and you will see the difference. Try to <code>Export</code> to PDF and compare:</p> <pre><code>Export["C:\\1.pdf", g1] </code></pre> <p>Now evaluate:</p> <pre><code>SetOptions[$FrontEndSession, PrintingStyleEnvironment -> "Working"] </code></pre> <p>Export again:</p> <pre><code>Export["C:\\2.pdf", g1] </code></pre> <p>and compare...</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/pXnN7.png" alt="enter image description here"> <img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/TkZAf.png" alt="enter image description here"></p>
