RE: [PantheonUsers] Searchable PDF

Thank you -- quite interesting.

If/when they change Pantheon to the Mozaix look
(WxWidgets?) that probably means that all the existing
PerlWare customization will break and have to be
re-coded with their new API. More fun.

Thanks again.

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

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 ...
