    Default Scanned PDF XRef Not Appearing

    Hi all, So I am having an unusual problem with my External References. I had to scan a document to use for XRef for a client project, and for some reason when I XRef the PDF into AutoCAD it just comes up with a blank empty square.

    Any Suggestions?

    Thanks

    Does it only happen with that one particular file? or can you duplicate with other files?

    I searched this today because I ran into the same problem. It is just the one file which I received from another company. I don't know what it is about this file that Map3D doesn't like but my solution was to open the PDF in Adobe Reader and "print" it to PDF, making a new copy with a clean history. When XREF'ed the new copy displays fine.
