Exported drawing in PDF, not selectable text

I found the solution after hours so I write it here maybe in the future it would be helpful to someone else.

if you export pdf file through print/virtual pdf printer the texts in drawing file is not selectable. it's like an image. in case you need selectable text in your pdf file, you have to select save as then choose pdf. in this case you can select the text. but there is another problem. if you have more than one page of drawing, catia v5 export every page separately so then you need a pdf merger. you can find it online or also a software called 7-PDF Split & Merge
 
There is setting in catia if you want to save all sheets in one pdf : tools- options- compatibillity- graphic formats - save in single vectorial file .
