Hey everyone,

Is it possible insert a pdf file into a Acad drawing? And if it is, how?

Much appreciated for your help!

Thanks

This is how I have done it, (not exactly inserting a PDF).

1. Open the pdf document.

2. Capture the image with some screen capture program (Snag-IT from works well)

3. Paste into the AutoCAD document.

At time I will take the captured image into a raster to vector conversion program.
 
Dear Juice,

You can connect the pdf file to an object in AutoCAD
using the HYPERLINK command.
Just enter the HYPERLINK command and select an object,
a dialog box will be opened and you can select the pdf
file using the "File..." button.
Click OK.

to recall the pdf file select the related object and
right-click. From the context menu select the command
Hyperlink -> "pdf file name"
The pdf file will be opened.

:)
