Not sure if this will help but I have run into this issue before........

 

Plotting out a multiple page PDF where for some reason some pages were BLANK, even though the on-screen PDF showed everything correctly. One of the solutions was to plot the multi-page PDF 'not in background' meaning when the plotting takes place, you will see AutoCAD (in that case) open, print and close each drawing rather than processing the entire thing in the background.

 

Another option that we used to resolve this was to first print from DWG to DWF, then open the DWF and print to PDF.  As PDFs are notorious for quality issues and other strange things (squashed fonts, inconsistent hatches, blurry or blotchy solid fills, etc.) we use the above workflow, using Autodesk's DWF and PDF default drivers which we have seen success in these issues.

 

I would suggest trying an alternative PDF viewer/program to plot the drawings.

 

Get another user in your company to plot the PDFs, to ensure it's not something on your workstation that is unique.

 

Try to plot the drawings to another printer, even if half size or 'scaled to fit' to see if the same issue repeats.  If so, it could be a PDF issue (corrupt?).

 

Ask the architect if they just 'split' up the original 3 page PDF into 3 individual PDFs or actually re-plotted each drawing individually.

 

Anyway, some options that you could look into..... Good Luck!!
