One problem though is most of the PDF images are very blurry and hard to read or see the values you use.

What program are you using to create the PDF's? If it's PDF Creator and not Adobe, Rod is right on. You have to really pay attention to the settings or the resolution sucks bigtime.

I fixed it, I accidentally used web size instead of print or publication quality.
