INSERTING PDF FILES

[Anonymous]

When I insert a pdf it does not have a white background and it REALLY slows down CAD. I played with the contrast and fade but the image gets worse. The best I can get the image to look is having the contrast set to 100 and the fade set to 0. I have used this pdf in other projects using 2004 and 2007 but with 3013 it is inserting it quite differently. Please advise.

Thanks,

Post the PDF.

Okay.....I assume you want me to post a pdf into CAD? I see where I can attach one.

Please advise. Thanks.

No; share that PDF here, let's all have a look.

Please see attached PDF. I hope I attached it correctly.

Thanks,

Friend, you said you had trouble attaching a PDF to a DWG file. Sharing your DWG file is of little help (other than the fact that you seem to have 4-copies of each PDF in there), posting the PDF file would tell us more.

PDF's will slow the drawing down.  If you expect differently, you will be disappointed.  They always slow my drawings down.  Unload them when you don't need to see them or freeze the layer they are attached into.  I use PDF's for 2 reasons:  1)Tracing geometry after which I detach the PDF. 2)Using it as a background on a composite job, in which case I generally attach the pdf to a drawing and load it only when I need to see relationships.  Using viewports or separate work layouts might save some zooming.
