Hi,
"Her printing" was created without converting the text to geometry, the text is searchable.
"My printing" has converted the text to vectors, that seems to be the difference.

Open both PDFs in an editor (such as Bluebeam). Go to the Document Properties.
Your PDF does not have any truetype fonts embedded, the other PDF does.

Hi,
>> how could I change my autocad setting so that it
>> will not convert text to vectors?
Start command _PLOT, then select "DWG to PDF.pc3" as device ==> PDF Options and look to this setting:
This seems to be your setting, now:
- uncheck "Convert all text to geometry"
- check "Capture fonts used in the drawing"
- now create your PDF.

Hi rkmcswain, any reason why autocad in my computer not printing the text out as truetype font?
Yes, the driver you are using is not configured to embed the fonts. How to change this varies depending on what PDF driver you are using.

both of our PC have the same hardware but the printing output is different. any idea?
The hardware has nothing to do with it. It's the settings in the PDF driver. Yours is not the same as the other, or perhaps your PC is missing that particular TTF, so it can't be included.
What PDF driver are you using?

Hi,
these are the differences:
- you are using AutoCAD 2010, "she" is using AutoCAD 2018, 2010 has a much older version of "DWG to PDF" driver.
- you are plotting to A4, "she" is plotting to A0, which means her output is much bigger, so displaying on the display with the same size means a very different display scale.
- alfred -
PS: "she" should install updates for AutoCAD 2018, there is no update installed, but update 2018.1.2 is available (and the must current one today).
