Hmmm... does...Restored comments<BR/><BR/>Anonymous said...<BR/><BR/> Hmmm... doesn't this ability negate the whole idea of a secure way to share one's design without it being pirated (one that Architects are quite sensitive about)? You can't convert PDF to DWG...<BR/> December 15, 2004 <BR/>Anonymous said...<BR/><BR/> You can covert PDF-DWG using Adobe Illustrator works better than the copy paste DWF-DWG (nothing is 100% secure these days)<BR/> December 15, 2004 <BR/>Anonymous said...<BR/><BR/> PDF security can be turned on, if it is security you want then at least with PDF you can set the permissions for copying, printing and editing to off. Adobe have been quite active at preventing others from creating software that can 'crack' the code.<BR/> December 16, 2004 <BR/>Ragnar Thor said...<BR/><BR/> Even a secure pdf can be converted to a raster format (TIF) that can be imported to AutoCAD or IntelliCAD and then vectorized again. So I agree, nothing is secure. If you are sending illustration drawings to people you don't need to trust, maybe you should introduce some kind of error to make the drawings useless for production?<BR/> December 16, 2004 <BR/>Anonymous said...<BR/><BR/> nothing is secure is not quite true. There is at least one well-known package that can produce files that are very secure in that they can only let in the people that you want to let in.<BR/> December 16, 2004 <BR/>JTB World said...<BR/><BR/> You are quite correct in your comments. This is really a quick and dirty convertion. There are better (not perfect) ways available as 3:rd party solutions but this is quite out of the box.<BR/> Nothing is really secure actually. As long as you can print it out you can scan it an convert it with a raster to vector software. If you cannot print it but you can view it on the screen but limited to make a screan capture you can take a photo of your screen and then you have the raster again.<BR/> December 16, 2004 <BR/>Anonymous said...<BR/><BR/> I know this comment is a bit late, but anyway, this trick is not terribly useful because the CAD object seem to paste back in the size they are on screen, not the true (full size) objects.<BR/> November 15, 2006 <BR/>Anonymous said...<BR/><BR/> Use scale - reference to get the right size<BR/> December 16, 2006 <BR/>Russell said...<BR/><BR/> It works. Now there is a catch. I was using Anydrawing DWF to DWG converter for flattening 3D Civil and Land Desktop contours, and it works fine. When I do this copy and paste method it makes the topo look like the old sketch command was used. It creates 90 degree angles instead of arcs. Using the Anydrawing DWF to DWG converter works fine. It would be nice if it did work. I even increased the resolution to the highest setting, but to no avail.<BR/> March 07, 2007 <BR/>Anonymous said...<BR/><BR/> architects are idiots<BR/> June 26, 2007 <BR/>George said...<BR/><BR/> The well-known package mentioned above is not as secure as people think. Every thing security wise for cad is just a deterant. There are work arounds for all CAD related security measures out there. Just remember NOTHING is ever secure. If some one wants something bad enough they will find a way to get it.<BR/> June 26, 2007 <BR/>Hugo said...<BR/><BR/> I am not able to select the image. When I go to Edit Copy, Copy is in grey and not selectable. Would any mind explaining to me (dumb it down) how to select objects in Adobe Acrobat 6.0 Standard?<BR/> July 18, 2007 <BR/>JTB World said...<BR/><BR/> Acrobat provides three Select tools, all located on a submenu off the Basic toolbar or directly on the Selection toolbar.<BR/> Click the Select Image tool on the toolbar and drag to select what you want to copy.<BR/> July 18, 2007 <BR/>Anonymous said...<BR/><BR/> This website has products to convert PDF to DWG and DWF to DWG.<BR/><BR/> http://www.autodwg.com/<BR/> September 11, 2007JTB Worldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02249678064305703202noreply@blogger.com
