I know that with us, lines were in light colours because the draftsmen used a black background. When you output your file, there is a "PEN TRANSLATION TABLE". This is really a CAD problem and no Acrobat problem.

I loaded very often drawings from PDF into Illustrator for making fancy graphics. There I could change the colours to my liking.

Is the problem with the keylines/lineweight or actual colours/tints in flat/surface areas, or both? A link to the problem file is always helpful.

    May be you can inverse the colours.

    Or you need to apply darker colours.

    For more advice you need to give more Information.
