AutoCAD cant plot to PDF using a custom style table when I am on a Paper space

Hi

My problem described in the subject and here you are the scenario of that problem

 

  1. I Have a drawing with more than 20 Layers and each layer have a unique color. and 3 layouts 
  2. I did a custom plot style to make sure to plot with blue, red and black only. and I save it as mystyle.ctb 
  3. my CTB file is printing all colors as black except of some colors need to be printed in blue and red only.
  4. I configured my layouts to show only the mentioned 3 colors only by check "Display Plot Style" and one layout with monochrome style
  5. Now my Layouts show only the colors that I want to be printed blue red and black - so far everything is pretty fine 
  6. I made a PDF using both methods Export>PDF and publish to PDF
  7. the produced PDF include all colors and ignore mystyle.ctb while some layout are only monochrome. the contradiction here is there is a complete differentiation  between what I see in my layouts and what I got in the produced PDF file.

The problem Is AutoCAD cant plot my layouts to PDF using my custom CTB file

please advise what I am doing wrong?

Thank you for your reply, actually I deleted the CTB file and generate it again and all things goes smooth now. It seems like the CTB file was corrupted.
