There seem to be two related issues:
Text - the text prints inconsistently, some letters are grey, some black. Very often it will look fine on the screen, terrible in the pdf and may or may not print ok in the final print.
Lineweights - I can't seem to create a ctb file that works reliably. The first problem is that I can get very faint lines and very heavy lines but can't seem to get a range of lineweights. The layer properties are set to "color - by layer" and "Plot style - by color" so the ctb should be controlling how the lineweights print, but that doesn't seem to be the case and I feel like I can't control the output. I feel like there is a setting somewhere that might fix this but I've searched quite a bit and haven't found it.
I'm not sure if there two issues are related except that they show up in the pdf not the viewport. Is there anyway to get predictable results?

first we dont know how you configure your CTB, we dont know also your layers and colors, but you can edit your CTB the way you want it to be. or else share the file, share the CTB use or make a screen shot of the table view of your CTB, make a screen shot of the drawing and also make a screen shot when it was converted to pdf. on this way we can analyze your problem and find solution
