Random wipeouts appearing when drawings are published

My drawings look correct in paperspace, but when I publish the drawings random squares of white show up over the drawing. I've double-checked and there are no wipeouts in these locations. This seems to be a problem on random sheets in the drawing set, but others even within the same files are plotting correctly. Has anyone had this problem/been able to make the sheets plot correctly? I've attached screenshots of the elevation in paper space vs published to show the problem.

If someone talk about DWG, upload this dwg (not just images)

 

If someone talk about an update, we have to talk about the product and productversion(command INFO) first.

 

Or?

Unless the update was automatic with the 2020 version I don't believe I've downloaded the update. Also if it's helpful I'm using AutoCAD LT mac version. Thanks for the advice though!

Hi, thanks for the help. Here is a DWG of one of the files having these wipeout issues.

I tried to reproduce your problem, but can't  - see attached PDF, created on my side.

Can you share PDF which shows the problem?

I also noticed that some of TTf fonts was not included in E-transmit: GothamLight and Univers. Do you have them on your Mac?

Hi, thanks so much for trying to help me out. When I publish the drawing it looks like the attached image. I've quit and restarted my AutoCAD several times, I've audited and purged the drawing, not sure what else to try 😕

I see you use AutoCAD 2018 LT for Mac, didn't you?
And what macOS do you have on your Mac?

You wrote in your initial post:
"This seems to be a problem on random sheets in the drawing set, but others even within the same files are plotting correctly. "
Does these layouts contain text objects based on Gotham Light, Gotham Bold or Univers fonts?

Yes, they have Gotham Bold and light fonts, these are fonts I've installed to my AutoCAD base application..but these fonts also occur on pages that are publishing correctly. Could they be causing a problem?

Do you have them (fonts) inside AutoCAD application folder? If yes, you can try to remove them from there and install only in Font Book. Then relaunch AutoCAD and try to save PDF from problem Layout.

Hi, I never really solved this problem. When I downloaded AutoCAD 2021 the issue went away, but now it is happening again. I've removed all fonts from within the AutoCAD application itself, and again the issue is only happening seemingly at random, currently 3 sheets of my 64 page drawing set are having issues but they're all set up from the same base files with the same fonts etc. Any other advice of things I could try? Thanks for your previous advice!
