PDF distorted when loaded into Bluebeam

I recently got a new machine and I'm trying to work out some kinks. An estimator at my company told me that the plan PDF (published from AutoCAD 2020 using DWG to PDF) gets distorted when loaded into Bluebeam. See screen capture. Is there a publish setting on my end that's doing this?

I'm not familiar with Bluebeam, but at first glance this looks like a PDF font translation issue to me.  How are your text styles defined, can you alter any of the problem entities to use a font or style that you can see is OK on the drawing?

another common possibility is .DWG file corruption... have you tried AUDIT, or opened using RECOVER?

Could you post the dwg file as well as a resulting pdf?

I use Bluebeam and will try it on my end.

What version of Bluebeam are you using?

 

I do not seem to have any problem with Bluebeam viewing pdfs from the built-in pdf driver.
