.dwg to .doc to .pdf

I have a question, and hope I don't confuse people.

 

   To start, I have googled it and used ChatGPT to see what that says.  We do everything on 8.5x11 sheets.  Normally I use the snip-it tool and paste them into an email and send to the project lead and they put it into MS Word and do what they got to do with it then changes everything over to PDF.  My boss got on this kick about how clear the drawings look sometimes when zooming in on the drawing.

 

As seen here.  ( used snip it )

 

 

I have tried multiple ways of doing this.  We even tried plotting .dwg to .pdf an inserting the PDF into Word and then exporting the Word.doc to PDF.  We are wanting to have the finish .PDF to look like this plotting from AutoCAD to .DOC and then onto PDF as seen below.

    Try using [not allowed in the community] from [not allowed in the community] instead of the snip it tool that you are using.

    Here is a [not allowed in the community] screenshot of part of your image that has been enlarged, without degradation, to show the capability of [not allowed in the community]
