Print to PDF Resolution

How can you create proper pdfs with vector instead of some kind of glitchy vectorized raster?

I always get results like the following:

Autodesk tools do not ask for resolution and always create pdfs with decent readability.

like this:

Hi Andreas,

Welcome to this forum.

• First of all I advice you to not post a new questions in a existing thread. Especially when that thread is a year old. Post a new question with a new topic name and get a new answer tailored to your needs. This will be easier to find back for you and others when searching for this issue later.
• Second: What autobot or other programs can or cannot do will not change the outcome of an answer. What could make a difference is that you can post an idea in the Idea section of this forum, or you can vote for existing ideas.
• Third: concerning you lowres image; Make certain you do not have Rasterize checked in the print dialog.
• Fourth: When point three didn't fly; read on. Alter the printer driver pdf.pltcfg from within the print dialog. File > Edit Printer Driver Configuration.
  General > Default Output mode > Don NOT set this to rasterize except when totally necessary.
  Driver options > PDF version as high as possible.
  Save and reload.

Hi Ivo,

thanks for your answer.
Rasterized is unchecked:

--> No change, still blocky pdf

When I try to alter the driver, there is no default output mode. What can be changed:

But still it looks like the picture in my first post.

I had something simular and this was the answer:

 Text schlecht lesbar in Vektor-PDF 

It's in German, but basically in the pdf.pltcfg file, you need to change:

Base properties tab > Driver Properties > Precision > Maximum

Save and close, and in the Print dialog you also need to reload the pltcfg (File > Reload Printer Driver Configuration) to make it work.

Did you notice a change in file size when you did this? How much bigger did your files grow (if at all)?
