So in an effort to reduce PDF file size, I went to the dwg to pdf.pc3 plot driver and wen tot he custom properties. The dpi is set to: 600 400 400 400 I dropped the top number to 400 and the stucco hatch and AR-Sand hatch both print weird when we print to PDF. Some of the hatch is fine, some comes out too dark. It's pretty weird. If I leave the settings as the default then it prints perfectly fine. Anyone know why those hatches might be affected by dropping the dpi?

Everything else appears to print great and the file size is reduced. Thanks for the quick reply!
So one of the hatches I am using that is turning out weird is a MicroStation Hatch that I had converted over. That one does not surprise me. The one that shocks me is the AR-Sand standard AutoCAD hatch. I am putting it in as scale 3.0 and it is printing weird too.
Version 4.23.05.00 Add a request to set the MTU size for NDIS driver. Huawei mobile partner windows 10. Version 4.23.04.00 Add new PID 155B and 151A,151B,151C,151D,151E,151F. Version 4.23.05.11 Fixed an issue that K4605 can not check the SIM card when PIN is locked in Win7. Version 4.23.06.00 Support dual mode feature.
They both print weird when the PDF goes to the physical printer. So it views weird and prints weird. Even if it just looked weird on the PDF that would be a problem because I provide clients with PDFs of their home and they want those PDFs to look sharp (as do I). AutoCAD and PDFs have not gotten along very well for a long time. Since you rely heavily on exchanging and viewing your drawing electronically, I would highly recommend that you look into a different format like DXF for which Autodesk offers a free viewer.
That being said, there are free PDF makers available that you could try. I've used and recommend Cute PDF. I prefer PrimoPDF (I use this at home) slightly over CutePDF, but both are the best free PDF plotters, my boss uses AutoCAD 2005 and CutePDF and I had to work on some drawings with hatches for him once or twice. I believe hatches are just a Pain for PDF in general. I seldom see a difference from DWG to PDF.pc3 and Adobe PDF or the others on my 2011 AutoCAD.

Recommendations for symbols and other Graphic Conventions and also BS 8541-2:2011 Library objects for architecture, engineering and construction. Recommended 2D symbols of building elements for use in building information modelling.
The Blockwork, Hardfill & Mulch patterns should have the hatch origin set to the lower line and scale set to the distance between the lower and upper line. CAD Standards should use recognised hatching conventions.
