blurry pdf

Using Revit to create some 3d models for a CAD project.  When I pull the pdf's into CAD as an Xref, and plot them with my full set of drawings, the images I pulled in from revit are blurry???  Not sure why.  I can print the pdf or view them, and they are clear, but when plotted from AutoCAD, they are blurred.

Try using Presentation Quality and Raster, not Vector setting in your PDF print driver .

 

Do PDFs created in other apps look clear inside AutoCad?

Thanks Cliff... I hadnt thought of that... hadnt had the need till now.  Also, I havent had any other issues with pdfs from CAD.. I think it's as you suggested.  and it seems its just the shading of the image that gets blurred, not the lines.

changing to the settings to print from raster rather than vector was perfect....

Well I had a problem with blurry objects and the text was fine. Found this thread and my problem was the opposite, I had to change from raster to vector to clear it up. Probably will happen again and I'll have to change it back. Hopefully it happens before I forget the solution.
