Hi @dennysbyhp,

Are you able to type in PDFIMPORT to bring the PDF into AutoCAD? Can you share the PDF so I can try on my side?

Hi,

there is two commands DGNIMPORT and PDFIMPORT ... please confirm that you're use pdfimport.

I am trying to import a pdf as well.  I go to the PDFIMPORT icon (under Insert) and choose file to select my PDF file.  I select Vector Geometry, Solid Fills & TrueType fonts.  I select all options under the "Import Options" and use PDF Layers.  I have tried selecting the image of the pdf and also not selecting the image.  When I select OK, I get an error message that says "No objects were imported".  I will admit this is the first time I have opened ACAD in a couple of years.  I work exclusively in Revit, so not sure what I am doing wrong.  Image attached.

If you set "Raster Imager" Acad will import the whole content as Image.
But is it helpful for you?
I am pretty sure there is no vector datas in you pdf, nothing for conver.
