ILoveMadoka Posted yesterday at 05:35 PM Posted yesterday at 05:35 PM (edited) I have a series of PDF sheets created from Revit. When I import a PDF sheet into Autocad, some sheets convert everything to autocad geometry while some other sheets only convert a few lines/text objects. The rest remain and are shown as raster images. What setting(s) controls whether a PDF is seen as vector vs raster by Autocad? Ideally, I'd like to get all the sheets in a PDF format that will import and convert everything in Autocad as usable entities. (I do not think they will convert it to a .dwg format for me).

SLW210 Posted 11 hours ago Posted 11 hours ago You need to properly set up Revit. PDF is not fully vectorized after exporting it from Revit "Revit will use raster printing because this view uses..." while printing a sheet to PDF format in Revit And check the links at the bottom of those pages. You should be able to Export to a .dwg if that's what you want. Quote
ILoveMadoka Posted 8 hours ago Author Posted 8 hours ago I do not have Revit or the original files. The PDFs were provided to me. I would LOVE the .dwg files but we may not be able to get them from a third party vendor. Quote
SLW210 Posted 14 minutes ago Posted 14 minutes ago You need to search for convert Raster to Vector programs. You can use Raster Design on the image files, but still requires some work, it doesn't work on the PDFs though. If they refuse to properly create Vector PDFs or give you a .dwg, your only option is to do them in a separate Raster/Vector program, Raster Design or trace them in AutoCAD. Quote
