RE: [PantheonUsers] Searchable PDF

I actually went though this with Intecept about 1 month ago.

The official word is that, while some applications output text using fonts in postscript so that a font substitution can be done, Pantheon does not. It outputs stroked/rasterized data from the beginning.

No searchable text will be possible until there is a major overhaul of the interface (and they stop using the old boardstation fonts.) Though it is planned to give the application an overhaul to have a GUI similar to Mosaix, it isn't going to be next week.

When I create my PDF sheets (Schematic, Assy, Fab) I need to have the
text seen as real text and searchable -- not part of one large image
which is the normal result.

If I recall correctly, to accomplish this, the fonts need to be
swapped out. Does anyone have the blow-by-blow for that procedure?

Thanks, George

Thank you -- quite interesting. If/when they change Pantheon to the Mozaix look (WxWidgets?) that probably means that all the existing PerlWare customization...

I wouldn't think much would break except if you are creating dialog boxes for your perl scripts. Greg From: George Helm <awkster@...> Reply-To:...

As a test, I loaded Mozaix 3.0 and tried to run a Mozaix 2.2 script. As you pointed out, Greg, the core perl looks like it is behaving OK but the front-end ...
