-Exporting the MXD to Portable Document Format (PDF) at a resolution of 150 dpi or 600 dpi does not show the problem.- Issue does not take place in ArcGIS Pro. Export the map at 300 dpi with point feature size set to 1.5 units or less. Point feature shape is not distorted in the PDF.Steps to Reproduce
