Color lines appear transparent in PDF

I am trying to print a color drawing to a pdf and my lines appear to be transparent.  For example my yellow looks more like a highlighter line than a solid yellow line, same with Cyan.  Red, Black and Blue are all coming across fine.  There isn't a transparency set on these layer or colors and it makes no difference if I have plot transparency off or on.  The lines are not dithered and I even set the fill on the lines to be solid, still no affect.

 

Any ideas on what causes this issue?

 

Thanks,

Do you get the same result if using an alternate pdf writer if available?

 

Or even a different pdf.pc3

Yes I do. I've tried Cutepdf and the regular Adobe one. I usual just use the DWG to PDF.

Can you post the dwg, or enough of it to duplicate the issue?

Here is part of the drawing.   You can zoom in and see the cyan and yellow lines look transparent.

Without the actual dwg file, or a portion of it which includes these lines which plot transparent, I would only be guessing.

 

Hard to troubleshoot these types of issues without a test file.
