RE: NX drawing pdf export
In the pdf export settings, there are two options for the "output text": text and polylines. I get good results using the "text" option (using Arial font).

NX version: 10
Font: "Arial" (no matter what font i use, the result is same)
output text: text
is any other setting to be changed?

this is very bad

Note that this is the first time that I've heard of people complaining about this since we added the 'Text'option to the PDF export function, but I'll check with the person responsible for this function and I'll report anything that I learn from him.

but graphical softwares like coreldraw or adobe illustrator can save text data as pdf.
then it will be possible to open pdf again and edit text fields like their native vector formats.
also solidworks exported pdf can be edit in these softwares.
i attached a quick screen capture that shows the edition.
RE: NX drawing pdf export
the text recognized simply and can be edited.
RE: NX drawing pdf export
this question pop in mind, if there is no difference between polyline and text what is the reason for existing this choice and dialog box in pdf export command?
please consider another screen capture i attached that shows geometry can be exactly like text and not be jagged.

Note that it will have to wait until next week until I can get any more insight into how and why this works this way as the person responsible for this is out of the office this week.

PDF is the most common file format for drawing and its quality is very important.

i didn't said that!!!
that's the matter of improvement. even if this issue remain no problem would be with pdf.
but i didn't encounter such issue with other softwares.
it maybe important with large texts. but improvement always can be.
best regards

Windows Control Panel -> System -> Advanced System Settings (Upper left) -> Environment Variables
Create a variable (user or system)
Variable name: UGII_PDF_NO_HIDDEN_TEXT
Variable Value: 1
As long as you have the PDF export setting for text on, the PDF will have text rather than the CGM overlay as mentioned above.
If you edit the exported PDF you can change the text.
