BOLD TEXT WHEN USING ADOBE PRINTER IN AUTOCAD

[Naeim28923180fpqz]

When using Adobe pdf as the printer in AutoCAD, texts and dimensions become really bold!

This issue has appeared recently. It's not related to the lineweight or fonts in the AutoCAD since I've tried changing all settings related to that. It's definitely something related to Adobe printer. For now I'm using .pc3 printer in AutoCAD, but would be nice if I could use Adobe pdf printer like before. Is anyone else having a similar issue or has found a solution?

Are you trying to create a pdf from AutoCAD? Have you tried exporting to, or saving as pdf from AutoCAD?

Hi Luke, I'm talking about printing an AutoCAD drawing using 'Adobe pdf' printer, like you would for a Word file when you want to create a pdf document. I'm talking about the issue of the 'Adobe pdf' printer printing texts and measurements bolder than usual.

Here are the snapshots of printers and also the difference in font boldness:

Is your pdf intended for viewing on-screen? Try exporting to, or saving as pdf from AutoCAD.

Thank you, but no. This is not an acceptable method for creating accurate architectural/engineering drawings. Using printer is the way to go, as shown in the snapshots above.

The issue is with the 'Adobe PDF' printer, and I'm trying to see if anyone else has the same issue. I don't need a workaround because I can already use the other printer (AutoCAD printer.pc3) to print the drawing with normal text.

I was also having this exact issue with texts and lines suddenly becoming bold when I'd print to Adobe PDF. Tried Bluebeam PDF and it fixed some bold lines but not all. I printed it to Autocad PDF. pc3 and that worked for me as well. I hope this would get fixed soon because I was sending accidentally sending unacceptable PDF drawings to my boss.
