Andrew Mac Posted January 22, 2004 Share Posted January 22, 2004 Is it possible to import pdf files into VectorWorks?? Quote Link to comment
PeterT Posted January 22, 2004 Share Posted January 22, 2004 Absolutely. Go to File / Import / Import Image File... Select your PDF, click open, and select the Bit Depth. Done. Quote Link to comment
jan15 Posted January 22, 2004 Share Posted January 22, 2004 This would be a terrific feature to have, but it doesn't work for me, in versions 8 and 10 on Windows 2000pro. There are no options in the Open window, except for what file types to show in the directory. When I choose "All Files", I can select a PDF file, but then when I click "Open", nothing else happens. Can anyone explain what's wrong? Quote Link to comment
Guest Posted January 22, 2004 Share Posted January 22, 2004 What version of QuickTime do you have installed? Quote Link to comment
Andrew Mac Posted January 22, 2004 Author Share Posted January 22, 2004 The same thing happens to me. When I open my drawing abd try to import as an image file, it goes to my desktop where I saved the pdf and there is no listing for the pdf, so I look under all files and it comes up. from there i try to import it and nothing happens. I just also down loaded the latest version of QuickTime Quote Link to comment

Guest Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 Jan, Download QT 6 or use the QT installer on the VW installation CD. Make sure you do a custom installation, selecting everything. A typical installation won't install all the necessary components. Amacbabe - when you installed QT 6, did you perform a custom install, or a typical install? Quote Link to comment
Andrew Mac Posted January 23, 2004 Author Share Posted January 23, 2004 Katie- I just did a custom install of QT w/everything check still nothing when I try and import image file Quote Link to comment
Guest Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 When you go to File>Import>Import Image file, does an open dialog box appear? Are you able to select an image and click OK? Does an Image Import Options dialog box apper after that? Quote Link to comment
Andrew Mac Posted January 23, 2004 Author Share Posted January 23, 2004 Well- When I try and import- a window opens and I select the folder where I saved the pdf which is on my desktop. It looks for image files on the desktop but does not list any pdf files. So instead of images files I have to change to look for all files. Once I do his I see my pdf on my desktop then then I try and import but no second window pops up. What now?? Quote Link to comment
