I’ll see if I can get a developer to look at it in a debug build.
We don’t yet know what the root cause is, but we see there is a problem with that PDF file:
https://mcneel.myjetbrains.com/youtrack/issue/RH-77659/Rhino-chokes-on-small-PDF
It did come in eventually, as an astronomically enormous amount of stuff that’s refusing to tell me how many objects there are yet.
I apricate the effort. I import much larger PDFs as a regular part of my business. It just seems like this 1 is failing me. Unfortunately i need the thing.
I tried deleting all of the text and info besides the architectural graphics. Still no love with the stripped down file either.
Well it may be the 11422 hatches? I dunno there’s a lot of stuff but not unusually so.
We did notice that the PDF has some unsupported CMYK images in it.
It might be worth a try to see if those can be converted to RGB as a work-around. That’s is just a wild guess at this point.
I’ve offered a bottle of scotch to the Architect’s drafter to send me their .dwg instead of the PDFs
Hatches other than solid, exported from Rhino anyway , turn up in the pdf as individual lines - that could be massive.
-Pascal
Hatches turning up as lines is a lot of information for sure. Previous similar Rhino files with models placed within imported PDF interior elevations range from 12MB to 25MB. I’ve never had a fail before now.
Well Rhino calls them hatches, so it’s not broken them up? I had to quit it but there were like 64K curves, 11K hatches, some large number of surfaces? Again nothing exotic really, there must be something ‘bad’ that’s taking forever to process.
Agreed. I wish Adobe had a “bad” filter, or Rhino could spit out the bit it didn’t like and show me the rest.
Hey there – I am having a similar issue. I’m using a MacBook Pro - and have Rhino 7. I’ve attempted to Import simple PDF’s and it will immediately freeze Rhino, and I have to force quit the program.
I’ve uploaded the PDF that I was trying to import.
I have uploaded other PDF’s that have no issues, but like others have said it works half the time, and then the other half of the time it will crash.

Hi Emma, Please run SystemInfo in the Rhino command line and paste your results
Thanks
