Inserting PDF's into .dwgs

[allie]

In v2002, I am able to insert a PDF image but can not rotate it. I also Insert/OLE Object a Word .doc (specs), but only get the first page. What is the best way to bring (or link) these types of files in and be able to manipulate them? How can I get the intire Word doc. (all pages) linked?

I have never had much success with OLE objects in v2002, so I have a work around.

 

With PDF files, I convert them to JPEG format using Adobe Photoshop before I insert them as a Raster Image.

 

With your Word document, I would save it as a txt file, then import it using Mtext.

Thanks eldon, I tried the JPEG file and had better luck, still a little choppy moving it around but was able to get some results.

 

For Word doc I have done the method you recommend, but it's cumbersome to edit in future.

 

Was hoping to link it to the original document so I can edit it easier down the road.

 

If anyone has been able to do it that way let me know the best method, thanks.
