Re: Autodesk AutoCAD Raster Design 2010 ISO

In this study, the Raster Design toolset boosted productivity by up to 48%.* Learn how Raster Design can help you save time when working on an AutoCAD drawing that requires a raster image to convey design intent.
Comment from the publisher: We try to be clear that PDFin is not designed to convert scanned drawings. PDFin extracts editable drawings from data-rich vector PDF files - basically any file created on a computer (save, print-to-file, export, etc). Scanned drawings are raster PDF files with no data to extract. For scanned drawings, PDFin produces an AutoCAD IMAGE object with a reference to the scanned TIFF or JPEG image. This IMAGE object can't be edited in AutoCAD but can be useful as a tracing layer or underlay.It's easy to tell the difference between raster and vector PDF files. Just open the PDF file in Acrobat Reader and magnify to >800%. If the drawing looks crisp and clear, it's a vector PDF file and PDFin will do a great job for you. If it looks grainy, jagged, dirty or noisy, it's a raster PDF and must be redrawn or traced. If you are not sure, send us a test file. Hope this helps!
