Import PDF
Command line: PDFIMPORT
You can import geometry, raster images and TrueType text objects from PDF files into nanoCAD documents.
Based on the tasks, you can import PDF files data in different ways:
1. Import data of the entire PDF file or a selected page as nanoCAD objects.
2. Convert the inserted PDF underlay in whole or in part into nanoCAD objects.
Note that when importing PDF data, visual information is retained, but the objects themselves will be converted. The conversion result depends on how the objects were saved in the PDF file.
To import PDF files data:
1. Run the menu command File – Import PDF.
2. In the Open dialogue box, select PDF file to be imported, click the Open button.
3. Set the desired parameters in the Import PDF dialogue box.
4. When importing from multi-page files, select the page or pages to be imported. Pages can be selected by clicking on the thumbnail picture or by entering the page number of the Select field. To select several pages, their numbers should be separated by commas. Multiple selection of page thumbnails can be performed when holding down Shift or Ctrl keys.
5. Click OK.
