Hello @deborah_3542,

Would you mind confirming more details, like the name/version of the PDS system used and a link to a sample AI/DXF file along with screenshots of the export settings used after uploading it to a file-sharing service, so I can check it with the team?

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Hello @mathieu_3946,

Could you try the suggestions shared in this help article (https://adobe.ly/40dW9Es) to install an earlier version of Illustrator to see if it helps with your workflow?

Looking forward to hearing from you.
