Creating searchable PDF from AutoCAD

Our client uses a custom font named Romas in their AutoCAD drawings,
which are always outlined as vector graphics when generating PDF using
Acrobat.

It seems that to create 'searchable' PDF, i.e. with text preserved as
such, you need to a) use TrueType fonts in your AutoCAD drawings and
b) set the Acrobat printer driver to keep TrueType fonts as text
instead of graphics. Correct?

Now, they have many drawings, so the question becomes: is there a way
to change all (Romas) text strings in a drawing to a TrueType font in
a set of DWG files? A batch solution?

Thanks,

HiHo;
A script file will do that.
