How can I answer you question? I have a few custom pdf pc3 files. thats all I know, were do I look to answer your question

Are you using the built-in PDF driver?
Adobe Acrobat driver?
Mom's Best PDF driver?

Your PC3 files point to a PDF driver, or are built from a PDF pc3 file
driver.

I am not sure. I would say not autocad but ones because with those I was not able setup settings for using them with batch override command in Project navigator.

I beleive these drives came from around the time of arcobat 6.

another thing i just noticed today with these were, when I tried to create a pdf, the entire image and line work did not should up on the pdf files but it did when i did a preview and it also did when i would send it to the printer, some weird error came out so fast I wasnt able to ready it

Autocad hatches and gradients really do not work well when output to pdf. The way Acad draws them seems to create these really enormous and often unworkable pdf files. No known solution.

Try asking this question in the plotting group for plain ACAD, or do a search and you will find lots of people who have had similar problems.

This is a work around at best but I have had good luck with the results.

Print drawing to a DWF.
Open DWF with reader and print to PDF using 3rd party PDF software.

Hope it helps
