To convert a PDF to AutoCAD 2018, you can use the built-in PDF import functionality within AutoCAD software itself.
Steps to Import PDF into AutoCAD 2018
The process involves using the import feature directly within AutoCAD 2018 to bring the PDF data into a DWG file.
Here are the key steps involved:
- Begin Import: Start by using AutoCAD 2018 (or a preferred version capable of PDF import) to initiate the process of importing a PDF File. This is the first step to bringing the PDF data into your CAD environment.
- Select PDF File: A window's browser will appear, allowing you to select your specific PDF file that you wish to import and convert. Navigate to the location of your PDF and choose it.
- Confirm Import: After selecting the file, you will likely be presented with options or a prompt regarding the import settings. To proceed, select "OK" when prompted. This confirms your intent to import the selected PDF with the chosen settings.
- Modify Color Properties: Once confirmed, the PDF data will begin to be processed. The reference indicates that the PDF will be inserted into the CAD document and converted. During or after this process, you might have the opportunity to modify color properties or other settings related to how the imported PDF data is displayed within AutoCAD.
- Import Complete: The process concludes with the PDF data being successfully imported and converted into the AutoCAD drawing. This marks the completion of the import operation.
Following these steps within AutoCAD 2018 allows you to effectively convert the vector and raster data within a PDF into editable or usable entities within your DWG file.
