My DWG to PDF.pc3 plot file is dated 10-11-2014

 

Is there a newer and improved version that I could be using in ACA 2016 ?

What is the problem you are trying to solve?
Do you just need to try using the other 5 PDF options found in 2016?

Thanks Dean,

My issue is in using Acrobat 7 (2005) vs. moving to a later version, because it is faster to get thing done in 7:

 

When I create a PDF in ACA 2016 and open it in Acrobat 7, AutoCad SHX text comes in as editable "text boxes". I can use acrobat's flatten command, but that's one more step to remember each time.

 

This doesn't happen in Acrobat 10. I should just move on to a later version but the older interface is quicker.

That's a feature in ACA2016/2017 that you cannot turn off in AutoCAD with AutoCAD PDF drivers. But you can turn off seeing them in Acrobat always.

if you must use the pdf drivers in ACA2016-2017 you need to set your PDF driver to not capture fonts but to save them as images I believe.
