Maybe you missed what I said previously.
Bottom line. The command does work but I suppose a lot depends on how the PDF was generated in the first place and what program was used to create it. Yes, it appears that when one uses PDFIMPORT the conversion drops lines and the text appears as white shaded boxes (although I have verified the text is there). When brought into a drawing using the PDFATTACH command everything does show up on screen. Of course as one zooms in the quality degrades a great deal but as for the other anomalies you describe sorry but I do get any of that. The PDF, in model space, stays locked into position when viewed through my paper space viewport. I ran a test plot (in color) of the new drawing I attached the PDF to. It appears everything came through including all linework and text. Edited by John Connor - 15.Aug.2017 at 15:35 |

John,
I tried the pdfimport and ticked all the boxes on a pdf that I wanted to import and only half came in even though as a pdfattach it said there were no layers and imported as one drawing As a pdfattach on a locked layer (I am learning) it appeared perfect in my paper space drawing sheet and was on a locked viewport however as I zoomed the page the pdf attached stayed in the one place and scale and so started to lose its viewable dimensions as the pdf surround stayed the same but the pdf retained its viewed scale- badly described but as I zoomed I lost the periferals of the pdf within the box that remained the same in the paper space view I was zooming into Even when I had a view on my screen of the whole drawing within its box on my locked paperspace drawing sheet when I pdf's the drawing sheet the attached pdf lost half of its contents as it rescaled itself despite looking perfect on the screen uploads/659896/FTC5_Pre_plumbed_2_x_heating_mixed_3.pdf Confused - but its not difficult |

Try this.
Open a new blank drawing then invoke the PDFIMPORT command. See if that works for you. I tested it on two different PDF's. The first one failed to import anything of use while the second one imported the entire drawing. However........ -Circles were imported as two spline objects. -Text objects were imported as lightweight polylines. -Arcs and lines were imported as lightweight polylines. -Arrowheads were imported as solids. -Dimension entities (dim text, extension lines, etc.) were imported as separate lightweight polylines. My test did not include changing any of the default settings as seen in the Import PDF dialog box. I would have to go back and review those settings and determine if changing any of them would markedly improve the output. Bottom line. The command does work but I suppose a lot depends on how the PDF was generated in the first place and what program was used to create it. Edited by John Connor - 31.Jul.2017 at 12:56 |

John
I have an import as objects button on my PDFunderlay dropdown I did a pdfattach and brought in my pdf drawing but highligting the pdf and using the pdf import button gets an no objects were imported The specified page or area of the pdf file contains only markup objects or the import setting were too restrictive- I only specified a scale of 100 as an import setting I could be doing it wrong (Easily) |

I haven't tried it myself despite knowing about it for some time. If you do get a chance to test it out please return and let us know what you think of the feature.

Excellent- that looks like something I can try but in the meantime I have moved my pdfs on to a layer and locked them so they cant get moved- some drawings I may have 6 pdf's and it is easy to catch a corner when drawing over them
Thanks for your help- I will read through that and try it out on my platform but I have found the command in F1 Regards Andrew |

Wait, I'm not finished.
In the full version of AutoCAD 2017 there is the ability to import a PDF. Maybe the same holds true for LT 2017? "With AutoCAD 2017 you can convert PDF to AutoCAD geometry, TrueType™ text, and raster imagesâ€â€either from a specified page in a PDF file or from all or part of an attached PDF underlay." Read more on the subject by following this link. http://blogs.autodesk.com/autocad/autocad-2017-pdf-import/ |
