Good day,

W‌‌hen I import a PDF via "Import PDF as new project" it works but the sizing of the document is extremely small for some reasons, I cant resize it or I dont know how too. How is this feature meant to be used?

Hi Maldwyn,

P‌DF files are the size of a page (e.g. A4 or Letter) which is why a drawing imported from PDF will usually appear to be small; the original dimensions of the drawing are lost (which is just one reason why exchanging drawings using PDF is usually a terrible idea, but architects and others seem to be doing it more and more anyway).

Y‌ou can use Arrange | Scale ‌to resize the drawing and there's a movie that should cover all you need with regard to this topic; see "Scale Imported PDFs", right at the bottom of https://www1.stardraw.com/stardraw/sd7/movies

I‌ hope this is helpful.‌
