Which PDF driver are you using, and how do you have it set to handle fonts?

BTW, try PLOT, not "export": you get more control over your output and settings rather than just accepting defaults you may not actually want.

There was no solution posted, I simply asked for more information.

Thanks for the file: I see it is missing some fonts and I see a lot of text with unusual lettering, do you have the same issue?

 

Is EPDFSHX variable set to 1 or 0 in your file at your PC? Read these solutions from Autodesk (note the setting required in your PDF reader)

Or consider moving away from SHX and only using TTF fonts (like in your titleblock).

Hi @Anonymous,

I see that you are visiting as a new member to the AutoCAD LT forum. Welcome to the Autodesk Community!

I too see many fonts that are missing in your file.  I also noticed upon opening the file that it does not originate from AutoCAD. 

When I run into problems, I like to get such things taken care of first.  Can you verify that you have all the fonts on your system? (Check your Text Styles) Please also run -EXPORTTOAUTOCAD to get this into a "pure" AutoCAD format.

Then, as Dean suggests, try using TTF fonts as that will improve how this will work for you.

Once you have completed these steps, try plotting using the DWG to PDF driver and select the options to make sure that you are capturing the font when producing the PDF.

I have attached my exported version of your file here for your use.

Hi  Pendean,

I like your solution.

I changed "style text" from ISO to TTF and problem is solved.

PDF driver "searchbox " find all tag's and text.

But how can i solve the problem for "AAAAAAA" letter and replace it per "line" ? And change width of  tags at same time for all ?

[pendean]

I don't know what those "AAAAAA" are supposed to be, but if needed, type them back in I suppose.

You can assign width in STYLE command for the ones you wish to do that with, then REGENALL to see the changes on screen.
