How would you connect a partition wall track to a post tension slab? I'm planning to use hilti PAF'S 3/4" deep to stay away from the tendons as much as possible, maybe put in the drawings that the slab be scanned as well. I have tried to do some research to get some ideas of what other things have been done but I have come empty handed.

Can anyone tell what they have used for similar applications?
 
The method you proposed is commonly done. Outside of this you could use a heavier anchor spaced out specifically to avoid the tendons high side.
Assuming the slab hasn't been poured yet you could add a system of embeds to weld the track to but that isn't very practical anyway.

 
CFSEI has an webinar and a white paper on this very topic.

Thank you all for the input, I'm gonna go with the Hilti Paf's for now but I will have to get on that webinar as well to learn more about this topic.
