I haven't imported PDF files before, so maybe I'm doing something wrong.

I recently had a hand-drawn drawing scanned into a PDF format and it turned out quite well when viewed with Acrobat. But when I imported it the file into PowerCadd, it looks horrible. Is resolution stripped when a pdf in brought in to Pcadd? I tried "Import", "Place" and "Open" to bring the file in and it didn't make any difference.

In both cases I'm looking at the images on the screen at full scale. Why does the image look so much worse in Pcadd than when viewed with Acrobat?

Rolando, have you tried printing it yet to determine if this was just an on-screen thing? It may be that once printed (assuming that is the end result), you may be OK. Keep us posted.
