8.2 Output Text as Text Strings
In PDF les, text is usually dened as separate characters or groups of characters with
their own insertion points. With the help of special internal methods, Print2CAD merges
characters into strings and places these strings as text in the DWG or DXF drawing.
Print2CAD does not reconstruct text that was fragmented into lines, arcs or hatches. Such
“text” is converted faithfully back into lines or hatches in the CAD drawing.
The same applies to text which is embedded as raster images in PDF. These are not
displayed as text. Only real or native PDF text and characters are converted to DWG
or DXF text.
