With some advice from Paul, setting certain field properties just so, and my discovery that setting the blendLevel of a field to about 50% reduces the rendered line width, I can get a decent output in spite of the existing "print to pdf" bug (#19252).
This also fixes, if that is the right word, the pdf disparity between rendering a grc rectangle of lineWidth 1 and a field of lineWidth 1. The grc nominally renders much heavier than the field. But setting the blendLevel makes that go away entirely.
Why this should be so is interesting. It is not that the line merely grays out, (it does) as I would have thought, but rather that it thins out as well. This is a feature, in my opinion, and invaluable to me right now.
So I can stay in v 6.7.9.
