In ZWCAD 2026, our drawing uses isocp.shx font inside block attributes.
When exporting to PDF, the SHX text is converted to geometry and becomes non-editable in Foxit.
Is there any way to export SHX text as real editable text without changing the drawing font standard?

You may not have a choice here, but can you convert your text to TTF from SHX? PDF should accept that as text.

I can do that most of the time with the OCR (Optical character recognition) in Adobe Acrobat Pro.

 

I thought Foxit has an  OCR.

Just do a google you should be able to find a ISO.TTF font there are thousands of fonts out there. You open c:\Windows\fonts and drag the TTF onto it from memory. ISO3098B ?

 

If your lucky some one may have one already.

I opened your PDF in Acrobat Pro and the text was editable.

 

This seems to be a Foxit issue, though as mentioned, you might want to use a TTF font if that's what Foxit needs.

 

ArialNarrow.ttf is a common replacement IIRC to ISOCP.shx

In PDF-XChange Editor, I could only edit the Title Border Text. All the node text isn't editable.

 

Using OCR in PDF-XChange, it converted all 5 pages in about 15 seconds.

 

I am using the paid-for version, so not sure if OCR is available in the free version.
