that just sounds like a lot of extra work, and a nightmare of trying to determine which revision is current/correct (the drawing or the model).

i tried placing the imagine in model space and using paper space to size the image without success. the PDF is created from a JPEG. when i paste special the image, i am using independent entry, so there is no filepath in exsistance. i want the image to be attached to the drawing. It has work...

i attempted to use the paste special to insert a pdf into my paperspace. the quality of the picture degraded as it was inserted into AutoCAD. i could get the inserted PDF to be of acceptable quality if i matched the size of it in AutoCAD with the size of the image in Acrobat. at this point...
