Import PDF

File > Import

The Import PDF command allows a PDF file to be imported into a Vectorworks file, where each PDF page becomes an independent PDF Page object that can be incorporated into the drawing. Create a reference to the original PDF file, if the original file may change, and you want to keep the imported pages up to date.

To import a PDF file:

  1. Select the command.

  2. Alternatively, click the file to import and drag it into an open Vectorworks file.

  3. Select the PDF file to be imported.

The Import PDF dialog box opens.

Each PDF file page becomes a separate PDF page or referenced PDF page in the Vectorworks file.

A referenced PDF file can be opened with the default application associated with this file type. To open a referenced PDF file, use one of the following methods:

        Right-click the referenced PDF page in the drawing area, and select Open.

        Right-click the referenced PDF file in the Navigation palette, and select Open.

        Select the referenced PDF file in the Navigation palette, and select Open from the Navigation menu.
