Lines and markers appear bloated in pdf

Plots created in R2014b version appear bloated in the output pdf file. The axis line appear bolder than before and the markers and lines are not as sharp as how it used to be before.

Any suggestions for improvements on this issue?

Thanks

What is the workflow you use to create the pdf? It might be useful if you were to attach a screenshot depicting the difference. Have you tried using the print command?

For example:

bar(1:10)
print -dpdf -painters plotName

Do the lines appear bolder on the pdf created by the code above?

I've only used R2014b a few times, but in every case I've tried, export_fig is still better than Matlab's built-in graphics saving abilities.
