Print to PDF with selectable texts

[itacad]

Hi, I'm asking you what rules or precautions must be respected on a DWG file, so that printing to PDF, performed with "Print to PDF", always generates a file with selectable/searchable texts.

 

Thank you in advance

The only thing I'm aware off is the text has to a Truetype font. If you use shapefile text (basic AutoCAD ones) they come through as a series lines.

Not exactly true for newer AutoCAD (2017?). SHX Texts can be PDF comments, which are searchable.
