I am creating an e-book following closely the example
program d-en-all.pdf. The color scheme is taken from
the orignal without change. On my Slackware Linux box
the reulting PDF file shows correctly, black type on a
light gray background. But when I look at it on a
Windows 98 SE machine (I have two such) using Acrobat
Reader 5.05 each line of text has darker background
than the page as a whole, as if each line on the page
had been marked with a highlighter.
On Linux (also Acrobat Reader 5.05 or thereabouts) no
such banding occurs. It displays correctly using Xpdf
as well.
I will post the (incomplete) e-book on
http://wexfordpress.com/tex/book.pdf
if anyone wants to try viewing it on their own
OS and version of Acrobat Reader.
The pertinent source is contained in my macros.tex
file as follows:

turning off the page cache may help since that often interferes with rendering
