Malcolm Crowe Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 Recently I needed to create some 3D models from PDFs received from a client. These PDFs didn't include all of the dimensional information needed, so I was grateful to have at my disposal the "PDF Import" tool within CAXA (not to be confused with the "Insert PDF Underlay" tool). The "PDF Import" tool converts PDFs into CAD geometry (which is what I needed). Attached is a video demonstrating how this works. The PDF used in the video was originally created in CAXA, and the original "Layers" from the CAXA drawing were saved within the PDF. During "PDF Import" these same layers are again imported back into CAXA. Depending on what print driver (or software) created the PDF, "Layer" information may not be available.
