When using the dwg to pdf.pc3 in 2016 I get an odd line around my mtext. It doesn't show up in Plot Preview and didn't occur in 2015
Any ideas anyone??

Done some further testing and this happens when a Filename+path or Filepath is used as a Field - doesn't happen when a Filename Field only is used

SHX being converted to comments in the PDF is a new feature of AutoCAD 2016. Here is the article we have about it:

Here is the one about turning off the display boxes in FoxIt:
Anyone who would like to see an option to toggle having SHX converted to text in a PDF or not, please submit a feature request comment here:

Lots of people wanted usable SHX text in PDFs, which is what got this to be done. However, the implementation of it might have been better. I was surprised when I first tested it out that there was no on/off switch for it.

Yes its a major hassle to either swap all my printers in my templates or change the text styles. Each years release seems to be one step forwards and two steps back
