Embeding Images or PDFs into dwgs

Yes, but it's good to know that PASTESPECIAL has less options than INSERTOBJ and PASTESPECIAL changes te resolution.

Even if you want a lower resolution it's better to use a paint program first. All those programs have a better algoritms to reduce the resolution than Autocad, so the result will be sharper. You can also reduce the resulution with exactly 50% in stead of a random scale.

With INSERTOBJ it's also possible to use the original resolution so the result is always sharper than when you use PASTESPECIAL.

I sorry for beating a dead horse. Ultimately I am wanting to take municipality details and embed them into dwgs. They are usually 8.5 x 11. That is why I was wondering about resolution and clarity versus putting them in a dwg without the clarity.

I see you use INSERTOBJ a lot. What would be your steps to bring a PDF detail (That has no vectors)? Each time I try I usually see that it is grainy or there is an icon which appears.

Crank:
I don't use it much, because it makes the .dwg heavy/slow, but we have a foto in our titleblock, so I've studied this to to minimize the impact of that.

With INSERTOBJ it's possible to embed an .PDF file, but the resolution is low.
It's better to show the .PDF on screen @ 100% , make a screen capture [WIN+SHIFT+S]. Then INSERTOBJ > PaintBrush > Paste [CTRL+V] > Close Paint
