Import PDF Show Annotations

[WhoCanDo]

A week or two ago, I noticed that some of my imported PDF drawings, when ungrouped to the line drawing, had text showing.

 

I thought that an update hade fixed this and was so happy.

 

Now I don't see the text anymore, so I have to revert back to importing PDF's into AutoCAD and then importing the DWG file with all the text visible.

 

I have my "Show Annotations ticked", so why can AutoCAD do this, and VW can't ?

I thought this was Troubleshooting, not the Wishlist.

 

Does anyone have a solution to troubleshoot my problem ?

 

Does everyone else see text or blocks when after importing a PDF and deleting the BMP and blank area - after ungrouping ?

It depends on how the PDF was created.  If it was rendered as a bitmap at creation, then ungrouping it will not result in editable lines and text. If it was rendered as vectors at creation then you might get some or all of the lines and text to be editable after ungrouping.

 

Post a PDF you want to ungroup here and we can take a look.

Thanks Pat.

 

Yes, I understand the different results of Vector and Raster PDF's.

 

It may take some time to receive another drawing from a client that imports with text showing, but I would have thought that a VW PDF was Vector based on my settings.
