Creo drawing objects export to pdf

[CB_11916535]

When exporting a 2D creo drawing to PDF, the microsoft word objects that are inserted are not selectable text in the final PDF.  Is there a setting so that inserted objects are selectable/highlightable in the resulting PDF?

Inserting an object in this way, but it seems to come into the 2D drawing as an image and not text/table.

The objects thus inserted come in as an OLE object. Meaning they remain as a Native file (Word, Excel etc). For Notes one may keep Standard Notes for Drawing in a Text file and ask Creo to read from the file or copy--> Paste those texts. Drawings converted to PDF using above would have 'Selectable Text'.

For Spreadsheets.... Create a Creo Table.

So there is no way to save a 2D drawing to PDF where OLE objects are selectable objects?  Or there is no setting in Creo that makes OLE objects selectable text before saving?

Hello, and thanks for the reply

I only had time to try a couple of those suggested settings.  I thought "intf2d_out_acad_ole_as_image" would be the one for sure but it hasnt worked yet.  I will try the remaining suggestions on your list and let you know.
