saving a canvas as postscript or pdf

Hello,

I would like to make high quality pdf or postscript copies of a number of TCanvases. I can save in either of these formats but when viewed in xpdf the line thickness of histograms is much greater than when the canvas is viewed from within root. I have tried saving as eps and converting to pdf using epstopdf and pstoedit, but the generated pdf images are not as good as the canvas when opened in root. The pdf images will be going into a pdf document made using ConTeXt and will look poor alongside the high-quality typsetting from the TeX engine.

I realise this may have nothing to do with root but if anyone has experience in generating good ps/pdf for TeX perhaps they would share a few pointers.

Thanks,
Roger
