Blurry PDF files?

Edit - Turns out it was a problem with the original PDFs, not Parallels. I originally suspected parallels because I could view the PDFs fine in IE and Adobe Reader on Win 7, but when I copied them to OS 10.6, they were blurry in Preview. I later discovered that if I opened them with Adobe reader on Mac, they were fine. I suspect it's an issue with the fonts used by the PDF creator but whatever it is, not a Parallels problem. Sorry!

I am currently running Win 7 via Parallels Desktop on my iMac (OS X 10.6).
For my business, I have to log in to a billing website using IE and download PDF reports. I've only been doing this for a few months and haven't had a problem until today.
When I download the PDFs in Win 7, they look fine. I can read them and they are normal on the Windows partition. When I copy them to the Mac partition so I can access them when I'm not running Parallels, they become blurry and illegible. I have no idea what's causing this or how to fix it. I'm very new to Parallels.
Anyone had a similar problem or any thoughts on how to fix this? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Please let me know if I need to provide additional info.
Thanks!

Sorry for the delay in replying. Taxes...
Anyways, I've tried using Preview, Acrobat Pro, and Reader on the Mac side.
I finally got around to logging back in to the website via IE on parallels and I think it's a problem with the PDFs. I have downloaded about 10 PDFs from this company and the ones that aren't blurry are around 3 MB, but the ones that are blurry only a couple hundred KB. It's still weird that they're legible on Parallels but not on Mac though. Is there a way to post screenshots here?
