Importing ADOBE PDF files onto drawings...
(OP)
I am in the process of taking all our company brochures and putting them into SolidWorks drawings from PDF documents. I have the ability to cut and paste them into a drawing,but when I scale them up, the resolution of the text gets really bad...Is there a direct PDF editor or does some have a technique to do this???
Thanks....
Thanks....

I am running 2005 SP3.1 and in the scale dialog there is a box you can checkmark called "sharpened zoom state". This helps a great deal when scaling inserted items onto the drawing sheet.
I think in the 2006 release they have added the ability to insert .PDF files into the drawing.

What matters is whether the "art" you're bringing in is vector or raster (pixel) based. If pixels, you're stuck with the resolution saved within the PDF file. If vector, you should be able to scale everything without degradation.
