The second pdf file produced by the following script looks wrong, as if one corner of each histogram bar is shifted to the right. The png file looks correct, and so does the first pdf file (produced with log=False).
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
data = np.random.normal(size=1000)
### correct pdf
fig = plt.figure()
ax = fig.add_subplot(111)
ax.hist(data, fill=False, log=False)
fig.savefig('plot1.pdf', format='pdf')
fig.savefig('plot1.png', format='png')
### wrong pdf
fig = plt.figure()
ax = fig.add_subplot(111)
ax.hist(data, fill=False, log=True)
fig.savefig('plot2.pdf', format='pdf')
fig.savefig('plot2.png', format='png')
