Turn off line weights for XRef PDF

Is it possible to turn off PDF line weights or PDF rendering for an XRef?

Software like Adobe Acrobat (Ctrl+5) or Bluebeam Revu let you do this.

@lthiffeault  you control the creation of PDF line-weights from inside AutoCAD: is that what you want help with, how to create PDFs that have no such appearance?

Note: once your PDF is created, AutoCAD will do nothing to change the PDF reality, it is not ACROBAT or BLUEBEAM or have any comparable tools. So if you are trying not to use those tools, then you are out of luck.

If you need to override an xref's lineweights even if they are overridden in the xref'd file, use the XREFOVERRIDE Variable and set it to <1>

Then adjust the layers in the XREF manager
