I know how to import the pdf into archicad but when i do that it acts like a normal picture and i cant edit. <BR /> <BR /> How do architects do it when they have a pdf and they need to edit it in cad? I'm sure there's a better way to do it without having to redraw an entire set of drawings isnt there?</T></DIV> Mon, 10 Jan 2011 09:32:41 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Modeling/editing-a-pdf-in-archicad/m-p/157256#M84790 Anonymous 2011-01-10T09:32:41Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Modeling/editing-a-pdf-in-archicad/m-p/157257#M84791 One of the reasons people issue PDFs is so that they are not intended to be editable. PDF is primarily used as an output only format. <BR /> <BR /> If the PDF is in vector format there are programs that can convert it into editable DWG. If it is bitmap you have to trace over it.

You can import pdf's and export them as dxf's which then can be imported into Archicad.
