PDF problems
Try this things:
- Make a drawing with a lot of text.
- Make this text by some ttf or otf font.
- Save it in PDF by Pro/E pdf printer with "All stroke fonts" and layers.
Layers is not so important, but we need them (I need them) - other printers like PDFCreators can't create layered PDFs. Ok.
Let's look on size of this PDF. -
Huge, huge a lot. (My record is about 90Mb - A3 - 3sheets)
For some reason PTC can't just put ttf or otf font in pdf container like others. And get construction (30kb nofontPDF)+(23Kb TTF)= (53kb PDF)
Pro/E start draw all lines and sublines and triangles between each 3 point. For example if I draw only point & open it in Inkscape I'll get 72 different object.
We are talking about new platform, Creo & all bla-bla-bla , but we can't create normal work with Unicode, can't make normal PDF creation... Creo -
- what are you talking about?
Hey, PTC, let's do something with it!!!
(clients in a rage) We pay you a lot and get only your dream about cool future. Each your product have bugs, no stable version... but in this post only about PDF problem. The worst thing that you know about it & nothing do. This troubles with PDFs began a long time ago - no reaction. For me get support in local Russian (I am from Russia, but I am a human too) forums easy than in official support. Russian support just forward serious questions to English, in result we (I know a lot of people in the same situation) have nothing.
Thanks for attention.
