Radiating lines appearing when I export to PDF

[Anonymous]

When I export to PDF, radiating lines appear all over my drawing. They don't appear onscreen, only when I export to PDF. I've seen other people have had this issue and I tried everything in the forums I've read, including reinstalling AutoCAD, but haven't found a solution. My colleagues have opened the exact same drawings and don't have any issues when exporting. It's incredibly frustrating and is effecting my productivity in the office so any help would be appreciated! Thank you! Pete

Hello @Anonymous, 

Since the lines only show up in PDF it is most likely an Adobe issue processing the lines properly. 

Please review the post here regarding this issue & adjusting Adobe Preferences. Also, in AutoCAD try another PC3 file use a different default type DWG to PDF or AutoCAD PDF.

I've tried every different preference in Acrobat and every option I've found in forums online. I've reinstalled AutoCAD and Acrobat and I'm not having any luck.

Thanks for your suggestions. OK, I actually tried plotting to Adobe PDF, rather than DWG to PDF and it eliminated the lines, but it's a lot slower. Any clues on how I can fix the issue in dwg to pdf?
