Searchable Assembly PDF?

bigbaldjohn

Hi,

I'm using CS 1.5.

I need to make a PDF file for the assembly engineer that he can search to find the location of a component.

The PDF files produced by Assembly Drawings can't be searched, result is always 'not found'.

How do I make a searchable PDF file please?

Cheers

John

    Thanks for the suggestions guys.

     

    What worked in the end was:

    Project Options->Assembly Drawings->Configure

         Untick Bottom Layer (I had no assembly on the bottom layer)

         Tick Holes and TT Fonts on Top Layer settings               without TT Fonts, pdf is not searchable. Not sure if Holes needed!

         Delete other layers

    Outputs tab->Assembly Drawings

         Select page from viewer

         Print to PDF, current page                    I used CutePDF, probably Microsoft 'print to pdf' will work too

     

    Hopefully this will help some poor soul in  the future!

     

    Cheers
