OLE pdf files |
|
|
I am trying to insert a pdf document into a drawing. The pdf has two sheets
but when inserted it only shows the first sheet. Is there a way to show
additional sheets? I am using Wildfire 2.0. Thanks in advance.

When I insert a pdf it doesn't even display all the time. I only see it when
I mouse over and then it only flashes me the pdf. I can double click it and
it opens but I don't see any options to change. I found nothing in the tech
support data base either.

OLE in Wildfire has to be the lamest thing going.  To make it so you can even see an OLE object 99% of the time you need to change the background to white and the lines to black. They resize funny and don't always look and act right. They don't like having multiple sheets of anything. If you can insert and see 1 PDF, then I recommend that you make 2 separate PDF's (i.e. 2 separate files) and then load them in to the corresponding drawing sheets.
Good luck, Glenn |B)

Thanks...that is probably what I will do. I don't have the problem however,
not being able to see the OLE objects, but they do flicker a bit when
navigating around the drawing, like zooming in and out for example. Yeah, it
is pretty lame. I hate the way it automatically sizes everything, so you
have to end up stretching your object by eye to get it to near the same
proportions it was. Well, I am at least grateful that it does have some
functionality because it now saves me a ton of time creating pages for our
purchased parts book, where I don't have to redraw every vendors part or cut
and paste pdf catalog pages into Excel.

Would it help you in this case to use a tool like my company's pdf2cad
software to convert your PDF files to DXF file format for scalable and
editable import into your drawing?
Our pdf2vector suite does this as well, and also converts to WMF for
scalable and editable import into Excel.
More info at www.visual-integrity.com if interested.
