I've been tasked with getting our CD PDF sets more user friendly and navigable on a tablet. To that end I've been streamlining my workflow for hyper-linking and indexing the drawings in the set. Being able to search for text in the PDF is the linchpin of this workflow. And this is where I am having problems.
>>If I have a single line text field with a TTF like Arial, and plot a PDF, I can search for that text in that PDF.
>>However, if I have a MTEXT field with the same settings as above, the text appears only as graphics in the PDF.
>>If i convert a TXT to and MTXT, that field is no longer text in the PDF. Conversely, if I explode an MTXT field to a TXT, it plots perfectly.
If anyone has dealt with this before or has any insight I would be eternally grateful.
