Dear Sir,

I have followed the Stardraw Movie of 'Importing a PDF File' and I created the new project. The Plan Layout comes out to be just black. I tried to configure the layers to solve the issue but could not able to do so.
Please check the Screenshot of the Plan view:


Please let me know the steps to solve this issue.

Hi Abishek,

Thanks for sending the file.

The PDF is made from a scan of physical drawings, so the data is in image format. This means that it is not possible to edit the drawings or reliably convert them into a vector format. Really all that can be done is insert the images into a drawing.

The PDF file was created by an application called "PDF Shaper Free" and this has encoded the images in a format that is not currently supported in Stardraw Design 7.3.  This is why they are rendering incorrectly after import.

I have emailed the images contained in the PDF as .PNG files so you can insert them into a Stardraw Design 7.3 project, but because they are very large you may find it difficult to work with them; images – particularly when they’re as big as these ones are – use a lot of memory so this has an impact on performance.

I recommend that you try to obtain the original DWG files on which these drawings are based, so you can work with the original vector data.

I hope this is helpful.

Dear Sir,

Thank you so much for the information and the attachments. I will try to find the DWG files for this.

Thank you, it was so much helpful.
