small text legibility

When I'm creating a pdf using GDOT MicroStation, with a text size of 0.9, I have a problem with legibility. My colleague can manage it in AutoCad. What can I do?

  • up the resolution in the pdf .pltcfg 

    set the options to advanced so the text is real text not an image and  is also searchable

    make sure rasterise tick box  on the dialog of the print preview is  NOT TICKED. as you want text to say text not  burned into the raster..

    btw 0.9 is  75% of the min size I'm allow to use  for our local DoT  min print size on finished a paper from pdf is 1.8 here.. what paper size are  you printing your dgn to pdf and  what scale? this can change the way things  look?

    When your acad cousin has  produced his  pdf what paper size , what scale and  what is the resolution or DPI  in his pdf  adobe acrobat can tell you this from the properties tab.. is you pdf of the same  data the same result  ie properties wise?
