Pdf In Cad

Using Autodesk 2006

I copied a PDF to the clipboard and pasted it in to a DWG. It looks fine (the PDF) I can stretch the image frame but when I try to print it the preview looks great but no PDF image comes out of the printer.

Can I do what I am trying to do?

Please advise.

I did tried dwf files and insert to dwg it works but the text becomes wierd ,try dwf instead than pdf. But you have to modify the all the text. My version is AutoCad 2009LT. I'm not sure if the 2006 version can do it?

Thanks......The drawing was sent to me as a PDF. This is why I am trying to use the PDF.

Thanks.......Any other ideas?

convert it to a dxf, insert into drawing then scale accordingly if you need to work with it/change it up a bit, etc

In Autocad 2006, I believe the best way to do that would be to convert the pdf into a tiff file, and then bring the tiff into your drawing using the image manager.

Thanks to all......

When I change the extension to dxf and try to open the CAD the command line says invalid or incomplete dxf input. I guess I need Acrobat to change the PDF to anohter extension?

Please advise.

i dont change the extension i actually change the file with a converter, ive been using the aide pdf to dxf converter for a while now with no problems

check them out here, i think you can DL a trial version and then buy it if you like or find a hack

www aidecad com (sorry this site wont let me post links cause i have less than 10 posts)

Thanks.....I will look into the converter.
