Importing PDF's into AC08

[Hogfan]

I am wanting to import pdf's of drawings into my AC08. I just want them in there for reference purposes, i draw submittals and have them in pdf format and on paper, just on big jobs nice to be able to just scroll over and reference rooms and such. I dont need them to be to scale or scalable. I copied and pasted some in but they were so small, by the time i zoomed in on them they just look like a bunch of vectors and not very legible. Any suggestions would be apprecieated!!!

I am not sure if this is in 08 or not but you can try an Insert--> PDF Underlay. They are scalable via a reference or whatever.

You need to convert the pdf to jpg, or other image file. The 'Files of type:' in Imageattach give a listing of the allowable types.
