How to convert PADS Logic schematic to searchable PDF format...?

[kannansha]

Hi All,

i would like to know how to convert searchable PDF of Layout files ( Example - Silkscreen Layer) from PADS Layout.

My problem is, if i generate the PDF of Silkscreen Layer from Pads Layout, i am not able to search the Text present in that PDF document. i know this is related to the font setting of PADS Layout. Hence i tried some ways but still not getting done.

can anyone have idea to solve this issue, please help me.

Thanks in advance
Sha

Hi Sha,
When the pdf file is done select the "Composite" page in Acrobat. Enter a Ref-Des to search. Some pads of the decal are highlited.
