Pdf

[Anonymous]

I get dwg files from my customers and design fire sprinkler. When I make pdf from my layouts to send to printers, my lines and texts comes out very light compare to customer drawing. Can someone help me please? Thanks

Same drawing and same layout, checked.
Same pagesetup? (Plotdriver, Lineweights, Plotstyletable-same file?)

If you plotting with the same setting and plotstyletable:
Check variable lwdefault if lineweight "default" are used in the drawing. http://help.autodesk.com/view/ACD/2018/ENU/?guid=GUID-969FE4A6-C30D-44DE-AFD4-A81B53F175F6

TRY EDITING THE SCREENING VALUES OF THE COLORS YOU ARE GETTING LIGHT IN PRINT/PDF

CHECK THE ATTACHED SNIP FOR INFO

I've had the same issue.  I found the issue is a translational issue between AutoCAD and Adobe.

The solution I found is to the viewing setting in Adobe:

From the Edit drop down menu -> Preferences -> Page Display

I check mark all the options contained in the 'Rendering' section.

I hope this helps.

Thanks for the reply. Whatever my customers give me looks fine in pdf and print. Only the part I added looks light.

You didn't accidentally use transparancy (other then 0) with the newly drawn parts ?

(i know from experience that this will result in those ellements showing up as a 'lighter color')
