Plotting full set from Civil 3D to PDF and one sheet is plotting darker

Hi I plotted a full set of 50 sheets from Civil 3D to PDF and one sheet is plotting darker then the other one even though the plot setting is the same and I am using the same CTB for all the sheets.

In the attachment I'm not sure which part is darker.  The lines? The background? Both sheets look the same to me.

I see what your talking about with the MDWASD's TB on C15 the weights don't match C16 I would wonder if the TB is being plotted by using an Object Lineweight and somehow that weight was changed on C15 and C16 (I'm thinking 16 is how you want it to look.) I would check the properties of C15 and verify that the lineweights are the same as C16.

 

(I plot those titleblocks too... 😁)

Both files are identical but the resolution is different in PDF. In Chrome, they look the same.

Maybe its just a graphics thing then, depending on which way it is opened. In my experience these days with MDWASD they require a PDF & DWF for submission. They mark up the DWF with comments. Just my take knowing there process.

Strange...they both look the same in Edge, Brave browser and PDF-Xchange but I can see the difference if I open it in Acrobat Reader.
