Resolution
UPDATED: September 18, 2017One solution is to go back to Doc1 and try to find a shade that looks optimal.
However if this is not feasible. builds/6.1M0p0132 has a new profile.ini setting that can swap out Goca patterns in the document with RGB colors.

Basically when the AFP sets a pattern symbol for fill
2804 GSPT Set Pattern Symbol
Vault will look for the corresponding profile setting GocaMapPattern<N> for a colour to replace it with. The value of N is between 1 to 15.
In the case that prompted this the AFP sets pattern 4 so it looks for the setting GocaMapPattern4=<colour>.

By default it renders the pattern as before.
The colour is a hex RGB value. Note that you can choose to map it to a grey like 808080 or to a colour like green 80E080.
There is still some artifacting in bitmap output but much less when compared with pattern fills.
i.e.,
[someprofile]
GocaMapPattern4=808080 turns the pattern fill to a nice gray.
