Tom Clark Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 In VW 2009, I do not see an Import PDF command in the Import menu though Import PDF is supposedly something that VW has had for a while. I also do not see any FAQs on importing PDFs. What am I missing? Quote Link to comment
Ray Libby Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 Are you using a workspace that was created in another version? You can drag and drop PDFs into a document to import. Quote Link to comment
Bob Holtzmann Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 My VwA 2009 has it under File -> Import -> Import PDF.. , which brings up a file dialog box. And the imported PDF remains so in the document, along with the ability to snap to line work. I don't see it as a feature in Fundamentals, though. I recently saw a movie of Vw2010 features that shows a PDF getting imported into a document, and then its line work is extracted into Vw line segments! Does anyone else know about this?

Kevin McAllister Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 Depending on the content of the PDF, you can often ungroup it, delete the bitmap portion and be left with editable lines. KM Quote Link to comment
IanH Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 Only design series versions have pdf import. Quote Link to comment
Tom Clark Posted November 15, 2009 Author Share Posted November 15, 2009 Ah. *That* is what I was missing. Ray -- Thank you. I am able to drag and drop the PDFs I need. That works quite well for my purposes. Being able to import a PDF is a very useful feature and will continue to become increasing so; I am surprised it is not universally supported across the VW products. Quote Link to comment
