PDF from WF3 m140

[Lhann]

When creating a PDF from WF3 M140 tool bar, the format of a dimension displays differently in Acrobat. In Proe the dimension displays as 7.348 +/-.005 but after creating the PDF from Proe the dimension in Acrobat display as 7.3+/- +/-.005 with one of the two +/- symbols laying over the .005 tolerance number. What is the best way to deal with this? I am trying out Arial as a default font. We want to use the Proe generated PDF because they are text searchable. This is a nice feature to have when you need to use a keyword search in Windchill. Maybe there is a better font type? If I use the default Proe, non-true type font, then i have issue when creating the PDF because the font gets substituted and my text shifts on the drawings. I tried to use stroke all fonts. This will display the correct charactors but the font is distorted and unreadable.

check with the pdf version...may be a acrobat version problem

We have also had some issues with the PDF files created from ProE. But when using "Stroke all fonts" as you mentioned the text and dimension is OK. However, we have problems with that objects being on hidden layers show up on the PDF. I have to look further on this and check the differentLayer settings. We are using WF3 M130 with Acrobat 6.0 so for you it might be worth trying another Acrobat version or ProE version to narrow down your problem.
