Plotted PDF shows image in wrong color compared to DWG file

Summary: I faced distorted colour output in plotted PDF in AutoCad 2017 which I just recently installed in my new company Lenovo T480 laptop.

 

Background:

Previously I was using AutoCad 2013, every company image inserted into DWG file plotted on PDF was as per the colour shown on AutoCad Model Space. However the problem arises after I changed a new laptop where company policy required me to install AutoCad 2017.  The plotting in AutoCad 2017 looks the same, I applied the same Page Setup(I even copied and apply the Page Setup I used in AutoCad 2013). But the colour still distorted after plotted.

 

Steps taken by me so far:

1. I have copy and pasted the ctb/stb file in Plot Style but the problem is still there.

2. changed every settings available in Option Menu->Plot & Publish

3. Disabled and Enabled Hardware Acceleration

4. Changed every settings in Hardware Acceleration

5. Changed Table Style Plot Setting under Plot & Publish Menu.

 

Attachment:

Cover.DWG is the actual file

Cover.PDF is the plotted file

 

Attachment Description: By comparing both files, it can be seen the colour on the image inserted in DWG is changed/distorted/inverted as compared to PDF file.

 

 

So, can I get assistance and help me to shed some lights?

Thank you very much.

Thank you for your guidance as I am able to create the correct image colour in PDF.

 

Now there is another question...

 

How to set the Plot Quality in all OLEs in all opened DWG to High Graphics by default?

 

I have found and checked and changed as per mentioned in this AutoDesk Knowledge Network- and it was unsuccessful.

Thank you.

Thank you.  This is something like the link I mentioned earlier. Current setting is 2 already however I've still producing distorted image. Therefore, I used the code OLEQUALITY <2>; and I changed to 3, then go to Option->Plot & Publish ; then changed to High Graphics and tick the 'use OLE application when plotting OLE Objects'.

 

I tried to plot again.. and viola.

p.s. I have no idea why but I suddenly found the way to plot the dwg correctly.
