Hello Forum
I am printing drawing to PDF.
Lettering does not print solid.
The font style is Arial.
Any advice helpful please.

Make sure the "Z" value of your text is set to "0".

Thankyou John
Can you guide me as to how to find this.
Is it a plot style or am I missing something?

Hello John
I find if I enter TEXTFILL, 1, it works.
I just would like to understand the mechanics behind this.

The DWG To PDF.pc3 driver in AutoCAD is notoriously BAD! At least in my experience. If you really want to create a usable quality PDF from a drawing I suggest you take the separate step of printing/plotting/publishing first to a DWF. Then from within Autodesk Design Review print that same file to a PDF.
You'll see dramatic improvements.
Dave.
