This is a known issue, when background color differs from white. Possible ways to improve PDF displaying are the next:
- use a white background (BKGCOLOR = 7)
- select PDF and set its property "Adjust colors for background" to No (PDF background become white)
- set variable PDFCACHE=0
You can choose, which one is more suitable for you.

Thanks for the tips, the PDFCACHE variable did help a lot. The 0 value caused alot of lagging, but 1 value did a better job.
Thank you!

.There are also system variables you can play with to adjust the resolution of prints, such as
