    <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi,&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;This is knowing issue with Preview app on macOS since Yosemite.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;In case when you are viewing PDF file (created in AutoCAD with searchable text feature enabled) in Preview application on Mac you will see "double" text.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Searchable text feature was introduced in AutoCAD 2016 for Windows and than in AutoCAD 2017 for Mac.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;There are two workarounds:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;- view PDF files on Mac with Adobe Reader - than you will not see "double" text&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;- turn off searchable text feature by setting AutoCAD System variable&amp;nbsp;EPDFSHX=0. Than searchable text will not be created in PDF and text, ctreated with SXH based Text Style will look correctly.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;

      <title>Plot DWG to PDF .shx font doubles in Mac Preview</title>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hello- &amp;nbsp;I am trying to solve this problem. &amp;nbsp;I have already switched pdf options in all variables, to change the text to geometry, etc. &amp;nbsp;The result is always the same. &amp;nbsp;When I plot DWG to PDF in plot style, the resulting image in Preview on Windows side looks good, when I open it in Preview on Mac side, the text shows double, written twice in 2 different fonts, the original font and a smaller, different version. &amp;nbsp; And TrueType Font does not show up at all on the Mac PDF.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;attachment included&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;DIV class="dropdown-positioning"&gt;I'm a Mac-using architect, we've&amp;nbsp;had this issue a very long time with Autocad-generated PDF files coming from consultants. The workarounds you list are not solutions, just workarounds. I'd like to know if somebody has found a &lt;STRONG&gt;solution&lt;/STRONG&gt; to the issue. We are currently on OSX 10.11 ElCapitan, but if the issue is solved in a later OSX edition I'd happily upgrade.&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;DIV class="dropdown-positioning"&gt;Please note:&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;DIV class="dropdown-positioning"&gt;If you use the Finder's Quicklook feature, the files render correctly like in Adobe Reader (but they cannot be printed that way). So this is a Mac Preview-specific problem. Since&amp;nbsp;there are a lot of other advantages in using Preview instead of Reader, we'd like this to work. It isn't practical to expect the consultants to give up the searchable text feature.&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;DIV class="dropdown-positioning"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;BLOCKQUOTE&gt;&lt;HR /&gt;&lt;a href="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/665765"&gt;@maxim_k&lt;/a&gt; wrote:&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;P&gt;Hi,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;This is knowing issue with Preview app on macOS since Yosemite.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;In case when you are viewing PDF file (created in AutoCAD with searchable text feature enabled) in Preview application on Mac you will see "double" text.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Searchable text feature was introduced in AutoCAD 2016 for Windows and than in AutoCAD 2017 for Mac.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;There are two workarounds:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;- view PDF files on Mac with Adobe Reader - than you will not see "double" text&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;- turn off searchable text feature by setting AutoCAD System variable&amp;nbsp;EPDFSHX=0.

      <description>Welcome to Autodesk Forums!&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;Hi Thomas,&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;The issue with Preview is still here and I understand that you cannot force consultants to turn off "searchable SHX" text feature.&lt;BR /&gt;So there is still only one solution - use third party PDF viewer to view PDF files, created in AutoCAD.&lt;BR /&gt;I use PDF Expert application, which I like more then Acrobat reader.&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;Maxim</description>

      <description>Thanx Maxim!&lt;BR /&gt;I’ve tried PDFPen but it has a related issue - all those characters get framed.&lt;BR /&gt;What I don’t understand is why Apple don’t fix it. They obviously know how. Finder’s Quicklook is OK, and Preview was working fine in previous OSXs.&lt;BR /&gt;This sucks!&lt;BR /&gt;Thomas&lt;BR /&gt;</description>
