Hello @Anonymous,

I don't see any problem with the PDF you posted. Its better to post 2 different PDF's, the desire output and the current output.

Hello @Anonymous

As I see it with my own eyes, Still!, there is no any problem at all. The PDF are perfectly clear, even in zoomed in/out. Perhaps its all about the PDF viewer you've currently used.

Zoomed INZoomed OUT

Anyway

Same here...

The present output.PDF was perfectly clear out full extents and zoomed right in.

The Desired output.jpg however did become blurred as I zoomed in, but this may have been a product of the JPG and not the PDF is taken from.

There is a slight difference in the extent view and the zoomed in view in the PDF but that is a problem inherent in the display method and nothing to do with the pdf itself. Some of the text looks a little grey rather than being black but once you zoom in, you can see it's all black.

sir

when I print my DWG as PDF,lines looks light and text as raster and when I zoom the same drawing it looks fine.

Is this because of my PDF viewer?

or there is any change in my drawing setting.

Before PDF print was good, some thing went wrong drawing settings.

can you please look into this and give me a solution.

I have enclosed CAD file and PDF for your reference.

Thank you

It's the viewer...

Not a lot that can be done as it's a mixture of the programming and hardware limitations.

As you noted, when you zoom in, the dwg is fine. When it prints, it should also be fine.

The problem only exists on the screen when you zoom out far enough.

Before,every thing was fine.

when I open different PDF which was printed in past, through my system,it looks fine.

what it is wrong now?

I'm going to say Updates...

Something on your system has updated (Drivers, Windows, the reader itself or something totally unrelated) and the update has broken something. Nothing will be done about it as the update writers will say it's not the fault of their update but the fault of something else which needs an update and so on.

I personally blame Microsoft as most of the problems these days seem to stem from their updates and the need they have to run everything on THEIR software whether you want it to or not...

The problem is just a visual one on screen when you zoom out and the printouts are OK. Changing viewers may work for a while but is not guaranteed.

All in all, there is nothing you can do about the problem but learn to live with it.

So sit back, relax for a minute and then worry about something else more relevant to what you are doing.
