AutoCAD 2017 Getting Hashtags on my Text Fields when Publishing to PDF

Hello,

 

Using AutoCAD 2017 Full Version on Windows 10 & Bluebeam PDF Full Version.

 

I'm having an issue with Text Field and Print to PDF.

I use the Text Field to add my sheet numbers to my dynamic block via the Sheet Set Manager.

Visually on AutoCAD, the Text looks great.

However, when I print (from the file or publish thru the Sheet Set Manager), the end result is Hashtags on my PDF file.

I would say it happens about 20% of the time.

I manage a dept of 5 detailers.  So it is hit and miss with everyone, not just one user.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Jeremy

A couple of thoughts, maybe a solution?

 

I would first make sure that whatever PDF solution you are using is embedding the font that the text object is using.

 

Second, I would try another PDF product to see if the happens there.

 

Lastly, I would make sure it wasn't some sort of network access issue when plotting/publishing and AutoCAD is trying to access the DST file for the field information.

 

Thanks.
