Printing w/ windows "Adobe PDF"

I'm having a problem being able to continually printing using windows driver "Adobe PDF". I can create pdfs fine the problem is I seem to have to close the print dialog box every time I want to creat another pdf. The image shows what's happening. The top image is what happens on the first print. BUT if I go to the next file to print, the image below is what I get. Everything is thicker/heavier. Now, if I close the print dialog box and open it again the print comes out fine. Has anyone had this happen to them before or am I just lucky?

I'm trying to have my Microstation DWG files stay consistent with others on my team that are using Autocad.

ANY help is apprciated,

Thanks

  • Thanks Bear and Gunnar, I'm going to start to work on the pltcfg file later tonight. I haven't used this before but I did see it in one of my online classes and really liked the control you have.

    Gunnar, my ver. is 08.09.04.51 and I don't know how to find out about the Adobe Acrobat ver. I do have the pdf.plt but when I used it my weights were WAY OFF. I converted the ctb file and made adjustments here and there but my pdfs never looked like the Autocad versions I am using as a "go-by". But I thought about it and remembered that acad (at least way back when I was Autocad) didn't really specify a plot driver like usta so set the default print driver to use Windows and I was really close to what my pdfs were supposed to like when compared to the acad users I'm trying to submit with. I'll give your .plt file a shot.

    Thanks for the plt file and Thank you both for your help,
