PDF Import into AutoCAD

[Anonymous]

I have a 16 page PDF file that I would like to import into AutoCAD and have each page from the PDF come in as individual AutoCAD drawings/sheets.

And what is your problem/question?

Import only one page to a file, each per each for every pdf page,

or import all in one file.

Creating Layouts for your drawing, thats your part and not part of the PdfImport-Function.

What is your problem or question now?

So each page of the PDF have to be imported separately?

Hi @richard.postak,

I see that you are visiting as a new member to the AutoCAD forum. Welcome to the Autodesk Community!

If you want to bring all the sheets from your PDF at once, use PDFATTACH. Then once the pages are in your drawing you can use PDFIMPORT to convert each sheet to AutoCAD geometry if they are vector-based.

Yes, separatly

john.vellek screencast is a nice workaround for the half work.

Another solution is programming, here a simple(dirty) snipped for testing:

(defun c:PDFIMPORT+ (/ file n c d)
(and
(setq file (getfiled "PDF for Import" "" "pdf" 8))
(setq c (getint "\nHow many pages from 1 to ?: "))
(setq d (getreal "\nDistance for inserting multiple pages (X-Axis): "))
(setq n 0)
(repeat c (command "_.-PDFIMPORT" "" file (1+ n) "_non" (list (* n d) 0 0) 1 0)(setq n (1+ n)))
)
(princ)
)
