Hi all,



I was wondering if anybody else has noticed this, when creating a PDF of
a drawing some of the information in the title box of the drawing ends
up misaligned. See the attached PDF.

Is this a problem with my drawing parameters or is this a ProE thing?

Cheers

Hi Chad

we have noticed it and got a tech support call out on it but have had no positive feed back from PTC.
there response was to use the stroke all fonts option but this option increased the file size i.e.. not using stroke font option the file size was 133k, using stroke option the files size was 1568k
when you are creating hundreds of drawing this is not to good

cheers

If your using the "Save to PDF" option from the toolbar, there are some changes that need to be made to the text in your drawing. Unless your using a font type that can converted to actual text, the characters get redefined to a font that Adobe can recognize. If you pick "Stroke all Fonts" all the text is converted to vector data, and it's not editable as textafter its convertedto a PDF document.Pro/E's font types don't match to Adobe's fonts, but the Arial, CG Omega and other TTF's seem to convert pretty well. It takes some testing to find the font type that will work with your situation. Also, you should set the layers to "None" so that all the line data gets converted.

Hi Chad,

We have noticed it, and had a tech support call. Latest response is it
will be corrected in Date Code M100.

It's amazing. I went through this exact process yesterday and figured out how to make it work. You are 100% correct on the settings.

Also, you can copy fonts from C:\windows\fonts to the loadpoint\text\fonts folder. This will allow Adobe to convert them correctly. Just specifying pro_font_dir to c:\windows\fonts is not sufficient; they must be resident in the loadpoint.
