Creo 9.0: Export drawing as 2D vector PDF

I'm trying to export a drawing as a vector based PDF for suppliers to create files from. I have looked through all the export settings I can find:

1. File>Save As>Type:PDF>Options>General/Content
2. File>Save As>Export>PDF>Settings>General/Content
3. File>Print>Settings>Print>Microsoft Print to PDF>Properties>Advanced
4. File>Options>Configuration Editor>{literally anything to do with pdfs, vectors and rasters]

ChatGPT suggested a number of options that don't appear in Creo 9.0 such as changing the 'Output Mode' to Vector, changing 'Raster Quality' and setting the PDF export method to 'PDF (2D vector)'.

 

I feel like I've exhausted all the options I can find apart from maybe the strokes and pentable options but I think they'll still save as a raster without some other option checked. Does anyone have any guidance?

Hi,

please explain what does supplier do with a PDF file.

Note: Suppliers often use DWG/DXF.

The PDF's I create do have Vector properties with default settings.

Press Ctrl+5 to see the Vector lines.  The file by @MartinHanak also displays Vector with Ctrl+5.
