PCB plot in Print Manager problem

LOR75

Hello,

this is the first time I print a PCB with Print Manager and I Have a strange problem.

I select "Post Process Settings" and then in the Layer spreadsheets I select Plot to Print manager in order to create a PDF of the selected layer.

The print preview is ok but the PDF has a different copper pour aspect: around vias and round pads che copper pour has a wavy ondulated contour. This happens also with a different PDF printer driver so I suppose is a setting problem of ORcad layout. Can anyone help me?

Best regards.

    The colored image is the PCB in Orcad Layout while the black one is the PDF created by post processor. As you can see the copper pour is strange around vias and pads. It is composed by several circles that surrounds the vias and pads
