pdf print problem

This has just happened recently.
PDFs I created using Publisher stop printing fonts and dimensions properly.
It shows perfectly fine when I open the pdf.
It also prints fine if I save directly from Layout sheet, using Save As PDF.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

I've found the problem myself.
PDF fonts would collapse if printed out of Adobe Reader.
Printing out of Preview solves the problem.

I was able to solve it by clicking the Advanced button in the Adobe Reader Print dialog, then checking the Print as Image option.

Where do you find this print as image in publisher?
Im having this same problem of overlapping dimensions and text.
I have files that have 50 plus drawings and need to use publisher for speed.

The option is in Adobe Reader, not ArchiCAD. I have had this issue when printing to paper, not when creating pdf files.
