repeated error message: Failed to extract objects from pdf!!

[Anonymous]

Hello 

I am new to autocad( not a professional user of it) and I'm doing  a project for a company I'm working for. They provided to me a pdf with 3d objects in it instead of a dwg. They didn't provide to me any  back up such as  fbx nor obj. So I'm hoping someone could shine some light on the situation. 

My objective : I want to extract the 3D mesh or objects from the pdf in order to make it an fbx file and import it into Maya. 

For the past few hours I have been dealing with the same error message. I have looked up each solution about this problem on your forum and on YouTube but none helped make  the problem any better!! I readjusted the settings including the 3D option when I'm importing the file nothing worked!! Can someone please help?  Or if you can please provide a  step by step document that can help solve this issue, photos, or a guide? I would greatly appreciate  the assistance! However I cant provide a pic of the 3D object or send it to anyone because of confidential reasons. I just hope this is enough info.
Thank you

Hi,

>> They provided to me a pdf with 3d objects in it instead of a dwg

3D-PDF's can't be imported into AutoCAD, sorry.

Also 3D-PDF's are not that often used to exchange data, you might find a converter, but I don't know any one.

So this is just a confirmation you don't need to continue evaluating how to import this with AutoCAD.

Sorry, - alfred -

If you need FBX contact the source company and ask them for that file type, or a file format that Maya can import and do the conversion for you.

MAYA users can help you out after that https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/maya/ct-p/area-c2
