Note: The quality of the output depends on the PDF writer you are using.  If the quality is poor or if the output is missing entities (hatching , line types etc.), try switching to another PDF writer. There are free or inexpensive PDF writers like “CutePDF Writer” and “PDF Report Writer” available online.
