It could be something that I'm doing, or it could be something with the program, or it could be something with windows. The problem lies within AutoCAD that something causes it to stop recognizing the windows font. It's a fantastic program and the plotting engine is way more powerful that what comes with AutoCAD. And to answer your question - I've been using AcroPlot for years, (I think back to v12?) light years before AutoDesk even thought about PDF's. Once the font is corrupted, it's no longer recognized as a font, and instead is just converted as part of the entire image file. It doesn't matter what I use to create the PDF, and I've tried several including AutoCAD's.

Has anybody been able to figure out how to "fix" this once it happens?Ĭreating the PDF file is not the problem at all, it's just a reflection of AutoCAD not recognizing Arial as a font. I can be in the drawing and it's fine, close and reopen it at some point, and it's corrupted. Obviously something I'm doing while in the drawing is causing this to happen, but I haven't the faintest idea what it is. Seeing as this font is used so heavily with AutoCAD, it just seems unlikely that this wouldn't have been addressed by AutoDESK by now. Arial is the only TTF that I use, so I have no idea if other TTF fonts have this same problem.
(I use AcropPlot to create the PDF files, and Adobe to do minor editing) I have tried using the Flatten command, I have tried setting Z elevation to zero, and I believe everything else that's been suggested, but nothing has worked.
(See attachment) It's almost like it loses it's font info, because when I create a PDF with it like this, it's no longer recognized as a font. the drawing, the font gets corrupted and displays very irregularly, or very rastered. At some point in time after closing, reopening, editing, etc. In a brand new drawing, the font always displays properly, and plots as searchable text in a PDF. I always add a line of text at the top of the drawing that identifies what the product is, using a defined Text Style called Arial, which of course uses the arial.ttf font. I create what I call detail drawings, (which are basic line drawings) to show things like overall dimensions, certain heights, etc.

To start with, I'm using vanilla AutoCAD 2017 on a 64 bit, Win7 Pro Machine with 16GB of RAM. Since there are 130+ pages of Arial issues, I'm sure this one is not unique, but I thought I'd troll the forum to see if anyone has finally figured this out. This has been an issue with me for years now, and I've tried searching this forum for answers to no avail.
