This was a new feature in v18, I think.

I am trying an online converter to DWG with so-so results.</T></DIV> Sat, 12 Aug 2017 04:47:36 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Collaboration-with-other/How-to-bring-in-PDF-vectorial-content/m-p/220043#M28139 Ignacio Azpiazu 2017-08-12T04:47:36Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Collaboration-with-other/How-to-bring-in-PDF-vectorial-content/m-p/220044#M28140 Once you bring the PDF into ArchiCAD, you can just "Explode into Current View."

If the PDF contains a scanned image there isn't anything you can do in AC to turn that into vector data.
