JPlanera Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 PDFs are not well handled by autocad from what i have experienced. Is there a way to increase the resolution of the PDF prior to insertion? Quote

BIGAL Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 Import jpg's or Tiffs maybe. If your importing some elses pdf chase them to get dwg so no problems with quality you should have have thier permission to use thier pdf as part of your work anyway. Quote
SuperCAD Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 You can import a DWF and use it as an underlay drawing. This way, you can still use the Autosnap ability to trace what you need. Quote
Tankman Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 pdf2cad.com works fair converting PDF's. However lots of cleanup, as you already know. Be sure to scale the drawing when opening in AutoCAD. I only convert when I can't get a *.dwg from the creator. Quote
ReMark Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 This reliance on PDFs is proving our undoing. Because this file type was NOT developed with CAD in mind it isn't perfect by our standards. We need to get over this. PDFs were developed primarily to share documents between different word processing programs. This may come as a bit of a revelation to some but AutoCAD is not a word processing program. Quote

My reports print pretty good using AutoCAD. I have merged your two threads. Instead of posting the same question over and over, try searching. Unless you or your company is willing to put alot of money for software, hardware, etc. you will not be able to take a PDF that was originally created at a low resolution, and suddenly get it to become high resolution. If these files are vector PDFs, you may have some success with them, but if they are Raster, you will have your work cut out for you. If this is a big concern of yours, you will need to research and purchase some converting software. Freeware and shareware probably will not give the results you want. You may want to look into Ghostscript and GSView, the best free software I have used, so far. I would recommend tracking down the original CAD files. Quote
