CLFresh Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 (edited) Hello, I've been inserting a .pdf into my one Autocad drawing and can't seem to figure out how to insert it and be able to adjust it's size. I insert the .pdf using Insert OLE Object but once I insert it I can't adjust the scale. Is there a way to insert a .pdf and make it so I can adjust the size of the file? Thanks Edited October 22, 2010 by CLFresh Clarification Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CLFresh Posted October 22, 2010 Author Share Posted October 22, 2010 Negatory. I've been fussing with this for a good hour now... there is no word for how frustrated I am. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cad64 Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 PDFATTACH was first introduced in 2010. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cad64 Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 Do you have Photoshop? You can open the pdf and save it out as a jpg and then insert that into Autocad using the IMAGEATTACH command. If you don't have Photoshop, you could try Gimp. It's free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLFresh Posted October 22, 2010 Author Share Posted October 22, 2010 Nevermind, I figured it out. For future reference: Save .pdf into an image file. Type in IM in command line. Click the down arrow and attach image. You can select what size to make it and where to put it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As soon as you posted this I literally figured it out hahah. Thanks though. I just used Paint and it worked beautifully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karl0325 Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 I am working 2016 and I am trying to attach a PDF but I want to embed into the DWG file not as an underlay. Is there a way to do this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
