New Solution: Remove Yellow Outlines in PDF with SHX Font when Printing to PDF (AutoCAD 2025 2024)

Just set PDFSHX system variable to 2 before printing to PDF.
*
- Problem description: Since AutoCAD 2016, when printing to PDF, text objects with SHX font appear in PDF with yellow outlines. Also, contents in Shx font are NOT searchable.
- New Solution: Set PDFSHX variable to 2. SHX contents are now SEARCHABLE, yellow outlines are also removed.
- Previous Solution: Set PDFSHX (formerly EPDFSHX in AutoCAD 2016 SP1) variable to 0. This will remove the yellow outlines; however, SHX contents are also UNSEARCHABLE
- Compatible version: AutoCAD 2024 and above
*
The latest AutoCAD 2025 still set PDFSHX = 1 as default.
Users should change the variable PDFSHX to 2 for the first time using AutoCAD 2025.
