PDFs in your workflows

[micah.dickerson]

The AutoCAD team is conducting a research study about how PDFs are used in users' regular workflows, and we'd like to invite you to participate. The feedback you provide will be used to help improve AutoCAD. The online survey will take about 15 minutes to complete, and your responses will be kept strictly confidential.

To share your feedback and experiences, just follow this link: http://v2.decipherinc.com/survey/selfserve/9e2/crb14025?list=1&origin=paf

If you are interested in participating please be sure to take the survey right away, but not after December 5, 2014. The survey is being hosted and reported by independent research firms: Cooper Roberts Research, Inc. and Decipher, Inc.

Thanks in advance for your support!

I generally use PDF's when I'm issuing dwgs to clients who don't have ACAD or any of it's variants.

I also get the majority of client dwgs in PDF and have to read them on a second monitor while working on the dwg.

On the very rare occasion, I have to redo a complete dwg from PDF when the original dwg has been lost or is paper only.

That is usually the full extent of my usage of PDF's.

What I would like to see is ACAD include a function to open a PDF and convert it to a proper ACAD dwg.

This function would need to be able to read scanned images as well as program generated PDF's.
