Was the PDF created with AutoCAD?
Share the PDF and describe how you are "converting" it.
i don t know this was sent by our client
may be or not it will created through cad to pdf
Pretty picture of the PDF but I asked for the PDF
If it wasn't created with AutoCAD, the leaders and dimensions may not convert properly.

@Anonymous ,
Welcome to the AutoCAD forum.
If you received a PDF and want bring it into a drawing, then attach the PDF in AutoCAD.
See video:
Consider also making a Repair to your AutoCAD.

Hi,
>> while i am convert the pdf file to cad dimensions and
>> hatches are broken
Excuse me for this question, but are you aware that PDF is not a CAD format?
PDF knows vectors like lines, arcs and circles, it knows images(raster) and text. But it does not know anything about CAD, so a dimension object is not "one object" in the PDF, it's lines and text, nothing else. Same with hatches, these are lines, but do not know anything about an area they are filling and a pattern they are build of.
So if you import a PDF-file into AutoCAD you can't get objects back like dimensions, hatches, 3D-solids, blocks and all that CAD specific stuff.
Also the accuracy inside PDF is not the same as in CAD, while you can have a circle with a radius of 2.34567 units, inside a PDF you may get a circle, but the accuracy is limited to the resolution chosen while the PDF was created.
Hope that makes it clear now.
