is relative to the location of PDF file being imported. The path can be either absolute or relative.

The PDF file format doesn’t recognize SHX text. When drawings with SHX fonts are plotted to PDF, the

PDF stores that data as geometry (not text), so the SHX text is imported as geometry. Text with

TrueType fonts are imported as text objects.

PDFIMPORT/-PDFIMPORT Command

The new PDFIMPORT command (–PDFIMPORT if using command line access) offers an alternate way for

you to import PDF geometry into the current drawing. The initial options provide a choice either to

select an attached PDF underlay, or to specify a PDF file.

If you choose the File option, the Import PDF dialog is displayed just as when you use the IMPORT

command.

If you select an attached PDF underlay, you can specify a rectangular or polygonal boundary around the

objects you want to import, or you can import everything.

You can also choose to keep, detach, or unload the PDF underlay after the objects are imported.
