I have a PDF that is a template I need to use to put my drawings on. Is there any way to Import the PDF into SoftPlan so I can use the document for my Plan Sets?

I attempted to import the PDF, and also converted the file to a DWG and then tried to import. No luck either way.

Is the PDF a vector or raster? (Lines or bitmap) ...

 

You should be able to import the PDF from the REVIEW menu.
