I see the same issue in Evince, actually. If you don't, maybe you have a version of evince with a different version of the Poppler PDF rendering library that both of them use. Either way I strongly suspect that this is a Poppler bug. You'll want to re-file this at https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/poppler/poppler/-/issues
Created attachment 132220 [details] Backend configuration dialog, no effect These are hairlines. Okular offers an option to disable rendering them as solid 1px line, also documented in the Okular handbook. The problem is that this option has no effect.
Well, hairlines could be interpreted as not “a very thin line”. Then Poppler just decides to draw them as 1px always, like usual with hairlines. With this interpretation it is actually an Autocad bug, because Okular renders the hairlines as the PDF file tells it to do.

You are right, I found it, there it. a reddit user given this link https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/autocad/troubleshooting/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcarticles/Drawing-text-appears-as-Comments-in-a-PDF-created-by-AutoCAD.html its a autocad bug, I followed that link. and its now solved.
