Scott W Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 Hi All, Cad Version - civil 3D 2009 I have always found that text will always become too bold after producing a PDF (for email etc.. purposes) I use the DWG - PDF function within the print menu. I find this very frustrating as the task itself is very simple with very little input by the user... i have played with line weights etc. on the text layer and over-rid within the properties but the test will still ruin the end PDF result, Im hoping someone has encountered this problem and found the source of this evil...??? Cheers.. Quote
MFish Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 You might try using a different PDF creator... I had a similar problem where it would just black out all my text, so I changed creators and it solved my problem. I think the program I use now is just called PDF Creator. Quote
chelsea1307 Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 have you tried using a different font? also check to make sure that all fonts are supported in the dwg-pdf driver Quote
Tankman Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 Can't you use the plot to *.pdf AutoCAD provides? I did bite the bullet and purchased Adobe Pro. Never a problem. Quote

Cheers.. Try with some other printers or converters. I started to use AutoDWG DWG to PDF converter when there was once I got mad of the bleeding lines. Quote
