I have a need to make a bunch of PDF's into high-quality PNG files. I have done 14 so far, and for some reason there is a variance in a couple instances that is driving me nuts.
I open each PDF in Photoshop CS6 64-bit and save it for the web as a PNG. Every time I use the exact same settings. This is an example of most of the files outputting correctly:
Incidentally, the blue tinged background is because they are transparent and the system image previewer in windows has this bluish background.
Here is an example of one of the few that does not output correctly.
I have looked at everything I can think of to try to account for some difference, but I cannot figure it out. Any help in pointing me in the right direction would be appreciated. Much thanks in advance!

@Scott gets credit for making me think about anti-alias being the culprit which led me to a solution.
When you open a PDF in Photoshop CS6 it starts with an Import PDF dialog box. In the section Page Options is a check box for Anit-aliased. That box was checked by default. Unchecking this box solved the issue and my PNG came out great!
Thank you to all for your help!
PDF is a vector kind of file and it's better handled in a Illustrator.
If you open it in illustrator you can break down the items (release clipping mask and break compound path) and then you should check:
-Line width
-Line Opacity
-Line Color
Once you have checked everything you can export the entire thing with: File>export>PNG, then choose "use artboards" and if you need to change the background transparency to white.
