I printed CAD drawing in PDF and the fonts are OK. But when I packaged them in larger file the fonts change. I have attched two sheets. as you see in drawing drawing number is clear and the other one 3 is missing.

Why this is happening?

Any help will be highly appreciated.

Thanks.

The first one has been created via a Pdfplot application, I suppose that is what AutoCAD provides:

The second one has been created by Distiller, an Adobe application, that is the workhorse of the virtual printer, but it can also be used as a stand alone program:

I haven't used Distiller for an eternity now, as all operations that I wanted to do, I can do them in Acrobat itself. But I tried your file on my current version of Acrobat Distiller and the result is as expected and as it should be:

 

I would recommend testing this on a second computer, if you have the opportunity. I need, however, to point to the fact, that printing Acrobat files to the PDF printer is not supported.

 

You could also try to assemble PDF files in Acrobat.

I usually assemple the pdf files in Acrobat. The problem I have now does not happen often. It seems when the file get big after assembling - the problem starts. As you can see, individual groups are ok.

I don't see that. But these are very complex files, maybe I just don't know where to look. Please share two screen shots, showing the difference. And tell us which file is the problem from the two you posted. AND, please tell us how you "package" them step by step.

Look at drawing number. i have attached a typical section.

I printed each sheet from the cad drawings.  Then I opened the first sheet. Next I inserted the next sheets. If in original folder the sheets are in sequesnce - I inserted them in bulk Once I have the package - I save with a new name for the package.
