PDF attachments

[bpizana73]

I use PDF attachments for my detail sheets and everytime I have to plot these sheets take long to plot.  Any suggestions on a fix orat leaset to speed up the process a Little?

PDF's are inherently slow, so you don't have a lot of options.

There are a few options to try, depending on the source of the PDF.

If possible, use the new 2017 PDF Import.  This really only works if the PDF is vector based, preferably from AutoCAD.

Convert the PDF to a TIF. BlueBeam and the full blown, expensive Adobe Acorbat will allow you to save the PDF as a TIF image.  Bitonal (black/white) is preferred.

I always use PDF's because they Look better but I would rather it be faster.

Ditto the tiff.
PDF underlay is a nice idea but autocad and adobe need to have a meeting on that
