ACADuser Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 When I import some PDF files the text gets messed up, letters out of place within words. The before is a pdf viewer before I import into Chief. The after is what I see after importing into Chief CAD detail in a layout file. How can I correct this?

Kbird1 Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 I have not seen that Alan , did you try importing into the plan and then sending to Layout ( I may misunderstand your workflow here? ) Mick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACADuser Posted October 11, 2018 Author Share Posted October 11, 2018 I have no PLAN file yet. My client is an Architect that creates the preliminary model in sketchup& prints to PDF. He asked me to create a scaled layout on his title block. So I create a CAD detail in a Layout file, scale the PDF to 1=1 then send to layout at the desired scale & print. Eventually, I will create a plan file. Sending to tech support they confirmed that the PDF has an error with the text. Importing to Autocad gave the same error. But I was unable to fix the PDF. The answer appears that the version of Sketchup must be to blame. I'll pursue it on my end. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kbird1 Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Perhaps they can Print to a different PDF Printer then, if using Sketchup's built-in one? eg BullZip which I use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACADuser Posted October 11, 2018 Author Share Posted October 11, 2018 Thanks for the suggestion, I'll try to get him to do that. My workaround was to export the PDF to a picture file & use that in Chief. Got the job done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
