Some where in your editing you lost anti-aliasing on those borders. Did you stroke the selection / path using the pencil tool as the option? Just use the regular stroke-selection(path) option. That is my stroked path next to yours.
That image size & ppi changed somewhere along the line.
Gimp can export as a PDF but there is no point, the image is rasterized including all that text.
For that particular image Inkscape and svg format would be best (not PDF, I think Inkscape rasterizes as well)
As an Inkscape SVG, create the text then convert it to paths and it will remain crisp on printing.
Ask the printer about cropping / bleed margins you will probably need to add 3 mm to all sides.
edit: If you do want to use a PDF format, the application to use is Scribus
