3.3 Raster-Based PDF Files
A raster-based PDF is one containing only pixels. This type of PDF data does not include
any native PDF elements like lines, hatches or text. The quality of the conversion is thus
based on the resolution of the scan. These raster pictures have to be vectorized during
a conversion to DWG or DXF.
This kind of PDF is not exceptable for converting the data into DXF and DWG. The
coordinates are of very bad quality and are not enough to be used for the purpose of CAD.
