Invisible text in PDF from linked files outside of frame
For work I am making a lot of different manuals. These manuals show a label for every part that is being used. These parts are all in one Illustrator file so that we can update it easily if something changes. In the manuals they are linked inside of a frame to only show the part that is needed for that step in the manual. Recently we have run into a problem where the exported PDF's still show the hidden text (other part names) that is outside of the frame and thus not visible. But in Adobe Acrobat you can still select it and it will show up if you search for certain parts.
I have found two people with the same problem before on forums, but the problem was never actually solved. I tried the solutions provided in those threads, but they solved nothing. Exporting without layers also doesn't solve it.
