.pdf files??

.pdf files??

.pdf files??

(OP)
HEY GUYS,
Is it possible to insert a .pdf file into acad 14 drawing?
And then is it possible to convert that pdf file in autocad entities?

Thanks
Juice

RE: .pdf files??

I have found the only way to do this is to use Coreldraw to import the PDF file, and "vectorize" it into a DXF file. Then, of course, it can be inputted into ACAD. Another way is to use a raster to vector program CADoverlay, etc, but you still need to convert the PDF to another image format, tif, or jpeg before you can do this.
Good luck.

RE: .pdf files??

Hi Juice,
If the pdf was created from a vector drawing, you can use Ghostview and Ghostview to convert it into dxf format.
