Hi,

probably the problematic hole has small diameter. Just for testing purposes, please create "bigger" hole and generate PDF.

PTC's output to PDF is flawed and doesn't duplicate what is seen on the screen.

If you can stand to, Printing to PostScript, using USE_SOFTWARE_LINEFONTS and INTF2D_OUT_STROKE_TEXT. The resulting *.ps file can be converted to a PDF with Adobe Acrobat Distiller, or GhostScript or any of several other distillers.

It will not have searchable text as PTC does not include the searchable text (I presume these require pdfmark entries to do so.)
