Automate the import of a multipage pdf into Autocad separated files

[davide.barberoFEKXV]

Hello everybody,

I'm new here in the forum and was wandreing if anybody has ever experienced the annoyng problem of having to import thousands (litterally) sections from a pdf document into an Autocad file or even better in separated Autocad documents and what would be an effective workflow to not consume my entire coming week (and my patience) doing this job. 

Any idea/suggestion/macro/lisp/magicwand or whatever could help, a part praying gods?

Thank you in advance

the program needs to know what to import (the whole page?), where to import it (WCS 0,0,0?) and how many pages there are.

Hello @cadffm,

yes I know, infact what I would like to do is to import each single sheet in a file at the origin coordinates, for example. I think this should not be so difficult to be done.

By using native autocad-commands PDFIMPORT, SAVE and ERASE it is easy, yes.

For LT, create a script.SCR and in fullversions you can use Lisp (vba net etc) for a small loop.

Simple sample where you only need to add SAVE and ERASE

Could it be possible to get help from the authors of these scripts?
