Batch Plot Output Appears Blurry in PDF and Physical Print

Batch Plot Output Appears Blurry in PDF and Physical Print

Issue:

When using the Batch Plot command, the output appears blurry, particularly for line text. This issue can be observed in both:
  1. Exported PDF files
  2. Physical printouts
Additionally, there may be inconsistencies between the output of the Plot command and the Batch Plot command.


Cause:

This behavior may be related to the selected PDF preset or output configuration, which affects how the drawing is rendered during batch processing.

Solution:

To resolve this issue, follow the steps below:
  1. Run the Batch Plot command to publish the drawing.
  2. Select "Publish to" PDF.
  3. Change the preset to “AutoCAD PDF (Web and Mobile)." 

  4. Publish the file and verify.
    An example of the incorrect output (blurry text/lines) is shown with the issue description.
    Try selecting the different preset options and verify the output.

Additional Notes:
  1. PDF presets control rendering parameters such as resolution, vector/raster output, and compression, which directly impact the clarity of text and linework.
  2. PDF output can sometimes be improved by adjusting viewer settings; however, this does not affect physical print quality.
  3. Physical print quality depends directly on the rendering configuration used during plotting.
