PDF (.pdf, ai, eps) import

Portable Document Format (PDF) is an open standard for document exchange.

To open, import, insert, and attach a file as a worksession

From the File menu, click Open or Import.

In the Open dialog box, select the supported file type.

If the import can be configured, click Options to specify import settings.

For files made in Adobe Illustrator, only geometry on the AI drawing board is included in the file.

Rhino does not read encrypted PDF files.
