AutoCAD - Import PDF goes wrong

Hi

 

I have many times before imported a PDF file to AutoCAD with no problems, but now it goes wrong...

It makes my picture (CAD-Block) into 3 boxes.

I have add picture of my image and how it looks once it gets on AutoCAD

Any clever people who can help me? I just want to import the picture as it looks so I can use it.

 

Kind regards Jeanette

Your PDF is a "raster" Image, aka a picture: AutoCAD does not convert pictures regardless of what file extension it is

PDF looks like a very simple drawing. Just use AutoCAD's PDFATTACH command and bring the PDF into the drawing graphics area and just draw over it.
