The first PDF screen is made using the "Print to PDF" method and the second using the "Publish" method. Why does the font weight change?

Hi,

next time, compare results of the same file/layout/setting, not two different things.edit: please

If we talk about .pdf, share .pdf and not "stupid" raster images.edit: please

>>""Print to PDF" method"

You mean, PLOT command? Which plotter/plotterconfig ?

>>"and the second using the "Publish" method"

Which "publish to" setting?

For your best support, share your .dwg, .pdfs and your .dst(publish sheetlist)

It may also be related to the font being a TTF or SHX font.

Take a look at these links:

First of all, you're a bit "toxic".
Secondly, these are company files and that's why I don't share them, but I add cut PNG files.
Thirdly, what I mean is the PLOT and PUBLISH options.

First of all, I apologize, I really didn't mean that!
English is not my native language, as you have probably already noticed,

so I ask for some understanding when it comes to phrasing.
However, we are welcome to talk in German if that is not a problem for you, I can express myself better in German.

I guess you are using different printer config files, that should be the main reason.

>>"company files"

Some creativity? Take a file and only have a line and a text as content, no one needs the rest.
Such a DWG and the PDFs as well as .DST contain no secrets.

If you save the DWG locally, the .DST file doesn't even contain secret path information.
