    Posted: 04.Jun.2015 at 02:52
I have made a diagram of a system in AutoCad 2016. Everything looks great while it is in AutoCad but I wanted to turn that into a PDF. Everytime I plot it to a pdf the text annotations go all wonkey and change, as well as certain objects change and no longer have outlines around them. Any ideas?

What method, specifically, are you using to create the PDF?

I have tried going to output and export to pdf. I have also tried this by clicking plot and selecting dwg to pdf

I then tried to download some free programs that convert dwg to pdf. This seemed to stop it from moving annotations around, but the shading was very choppy and nasty looking on certain objects, and when emailed all of the lines disappeared

Just one of the many reasons I refuse to use PDFs.

Create a DWF instead.
