Hi,
I should be posting this wish to Vanilla AutoCAD wish list forums. Instead, I post here as I was unable to make any posts over there. I look forward to moderators moving this wish to the AutoCAD wish lists.
Description:
It would really nice if we have a feature inside AutoCAD to convert PDF underlays into raster images. Currently we are restricted from using PDF underlays due to backward compatibility issues. Once we convert it to raster image, it is highly backward compatible and editable.
How Used:
Most of the PDF editors have the facility to extract TIF images from the PDF files. That means it is not something impossible or really hard to achieve. Please consider the following advantages;Feature Affinity:
- Compatible with previous versions of AutoCAD. You can send it to anybody with peace of mind.
- It becomes editable. You can easily make changes to the underlay using raster editing softwares like AutoCAD Raster Design.
