Need to generate PDF that has searchable text when opened in Bluebeam

Please provide solutions for how to generate a PDF directly from AutoCAD that contains searchable text. 

I have already confirmed that all my text is TTF as I am using Arial. I have also made sure that my text width is 1. I have tried to create the PDF in both CAD to PDF driver as well as the Bluebeam driver.  Once the PDF file is generated , I open it with Bluebeam and still am unable to search the text. I understand that I can always run an OCR command within Bluebeam to convert it but assumed that there WAS A WAY to generate the searchable PDF directly from CAD. thanks for any input.

As I noted in your other post, we can all do this in our own files all day long. Can you share a DWG file and your PDF from it where all of this never worked for you?
