I have the same issue.  Since upgrading to ElCapitan, using Autocad 2015 for Mac my PDF's come out unreadeble.  Is this an Autocad, Mac or Adobe problem?

Welcome to Autodesk Forums!

Hi,

Have you checked lineweight settings in your DWG?
Did you change something in the drawing?
Or maybe you changed page setup settings (missing plot style table file, settings for scaling lineweights)?

No…no changes. When I pull up older pdf files created from Autocad, they still print well. So it seems as if something changed with Autocad’s use of the pdf converter within the program…or maybe something in Autocad is incompatible with ElCapitan.

 

I've installed two stand-alone pdf writers into my printer options and neither of them will save dwg files correctly as pdf's.  

Maybe the case is in these PDF writers? Have you tried to use in El Capitan the same printer as it was on Yosemite?

Can you post one of your problem files (or part of it) here?

Thanks, Max.  I've narrowed it down to my latest lines and fonts since messing around with some settings.   I did a "pedit" last week which coincided with these issues, I think.  So now I find if I use the same text settings as before when it worked well, I get only the new, bolder characters.  Same bolder lines.  I must have selected a bolder lineweight or font somewhere.
