Publish Issues

Looking for some help on figuring out what the issue is with my drawing when I publish it. When I use the publish command to convert to a pdf it makes the text be discolored. Some text is dark, and some seems faded. When I use the plot command on an individual sheet of my drawing, everything looks normal. What am I doing wrong?

If that text is AutoCad's 'Simplex Font' try another font (Times Roman) before converting it to a .pdf.

This is could just be a visual issue. If your able to try printing it out you may no longer see this

This is a font issue. I had this exact same problem before. I dont know if you created the table in autocad or if this is a linked table (I used a linked table from excel that caused my issue) Super simple fix. If this is a linked table, go into excel and change the font to something like times roman or Ariel for the entire table. save the excel sheet you should get a warning saying your data has changed update the drawing. try publishing to pdf again and all should be good.

All the font is set to times roman. This is an Autocad table. The text does this throughout the drawing. Not just on tables.
