cannot read PDF plotted at high DPI using ACAD 2010

Hiya

I am a draftswoman have been using Autocad for doing my family tree, but i am having trouble reading the PDF's outout when printed at a high DPI. I've attached copies of the same part of the screen printed at 150 DPI, when its clear and readable, and at 2400 DPI when it goes all faded and unreadable. But there are occasions due to some graphics that its better for me to print at 2400 DPI. is there any way of improving the text printed at the higher DPI to make it clearer and readable?

thanks

Try using Windows TTF fonts instead of SHX stick fonts, that should help.

Is there any way to fix this issue with SHX fonts? TTF will not work for our purposes. I see no reason why the lines that make up SHX text should be scaled inconsistently like that, AutoCAD doesn't have any problem scaling normal polylines
