I’m having an issue importing pdf files. I have done this many times before, but now when I import, the image comes in washed out. Have tried color and black and white?  
Has anyone else had this issue?

PDF imports come restserized. Can you please try converting the PDF file to JPG or PNG format.  
Then import the image format instead let’s see if this works for you.

Hi Victor,  
Yes importing images such as jpeg are no issue.  
I only used pdf, as I will typically print from Cad to pdf.  
I will use images.  
Thank you
