PDF printed sheet results in a 'sheered' drawing ? Glitch like

[adialidal]

Hello,

I am currently struggling to export/print any form of pdf without it being a somewhat segmented or sheered drawing. Its as if the print moved in the printer and the drawing becomes misaligned - I have checked my settings and some of the projects I had before with perfect printing settings are doing the same.

Not sure if this is a software, hardware or unregistered version error. [ I am switching to my student version shortly]

Please help - I can as a result no longer edit my drawings in Illustrator - because the pdf is in sections instead of a flat vector drawing.

I have also tried .eps - the quality of my curves is always compromised. 

I have attached the pdf for reference. 

Thank you in advance for your time.

@adialidal ,

Provide a Screencast to see your process.

Or try these suggestions: 

• Install the latest update for AutoCAD (see Install Updates, Add-ons, and Enhancements).
• Update to the latest certified video driver.
• Use the Publish to DWG to PDF.pc3 option.
• Set AutoCAD to factory default.

Share you actual source DWG file please: your PDF only shows the result, not the cause.

Here we go. 

Thank you. Looking forward to the critique.

Thank you for all these - I will try each and get back if there is a success. Appreciate the input.

@adialidal Thanks for the DWG file: there is nothing wrong with your file or PDF creation when I used the defaults you left in the DWG file, see attached and below

Thank you so much for confirming this.. perhaps this is not an AutoCAD problem but an Adobe issue.

But I thought I would just share this screenshot -- When I open the PDF in Illustrator -which I then go to colour in the cad drawing essentially - I am confronted with a drawing that has been pdfed in what seems to be segments -so when I try to select the vector lines I am instead only able to select a long blue rectangle - I suspected it was my export ?
