Using Acrobat Pro CS2, I observe strange behavior to text when pasting a certain diagram exported from Excel as PDF into the current document. This issue concerns the text already in the document, not the text in the diagram itself.
The edges around the text lose their "smoothness", thus aliasing is stronger and the text looks noticeably bolder.

The texts parameters do not change, however. They remain the same typeface, size, etc.

What I tried:


Copying the text from Document A to the one containing the diagram
Copying the diagram into Document A
Importing the diagram into Illustrator and exported as AI, PDF and ESP upfront, before copying into Document A


I of course could export the diagram to a raster format, but really want to avoid this so the diagrams labeling remains in tact (not rasterized). Oh and color space for all documents is CMYK, for what it's worth.

Does anybody know what's going on?
