i know, what you see is never what you get..
believe me i have experienced this "damn cad what are you doing" and "hmm
works with pdf".
which printer do you use?
maybe try making post script and printing that, if more convenient than
pdf...
look in your cad for options how it makes filled objects.
sometimes you can choose between filled, outline, etc.
i think another problem is raster/vector differemces.
my cad works fine on raster printing but is crazy if you try vector
output...
