Normally when dong conversion the PDF images plots to the monitor as an opened file. Other PDF drivers would be third party, like CutePDF. I have seen others recommend it, but I've always had the best plots with the standard installed DWG to PDF.pc3 myself. The fact that the plot preview looks good would lead me to question the driver.but hey who knows.
There is corruption or damage within the PC3 file or the DWG itself: - The PDF PC3 file has become damaged.
- The drawing includes some corrupted information.
Solution:
Try the following in order, plotting a test file after each:
Check for corruption in the PC3 file
- Install the latest updates for AutoCAD (see Install Updates, Add-ons, and Enhancements).
- Install a new DWG To PDF.pc3 file from the UserDataCache folder in AutoCAD.
- Go to the folder C:Program FilesAutodeskAutoCAD <VERSION>UserDataCachePlotters.
Note: UserDataCache is a hidden folder, so be sure to have hidden files/folders turned on in the Folder Options.
- Right-click on the DWG To PDF.pc3 file and choose Copy.
- Type PLOTTERMANAGER and press Enter.
- In the Plotters folder, right-click and choose Paste.
Note: Some AutoCAD-based products do not have a Plotters folder in UserDataCache. If this is the case, copy a working DWG To PDF.pc3 file from another workstation.

2017; 2016; 2019; 2020; 2018;In my 2012 LT version I can't reproduce your problem, sorry. But I have a problem with this none the less.. one you'd probably like: No matter how I set the system up the PDF reader would not open after plotting to a PDF!
I did notice in the Custom configuration dialog process I had to specify a new .pc3 configuration twice. I changed the setup to DWG to PDF NoOpenPDFReader.pc3 and had to specify that filename twice. The first time I suspect it was so that the name would show up in the Printer/Plotter Name dialog and the second time it was for the file folder where the .pc3 itself would be saved. But on my system if I saved the configuration, closed the file, and then re-opened it, the checkbox for opening the PDF reader was the way I'd set it: unchecked. So at least that much worked.
But like I said, it didn't make a difference. In the 2012 version it seems the bug, if it is one, goes in the other direction. I was not able to plot to a PDF and have the PDF reader open afterward. I use Adobe Acrobat X on my system.. whether that makes a difference in all this or not I don't really know.
Sorry I couldn't have been more helpful.
