Are there any plans to make pdf’s usable in the Picture command? I know you can import a pdf directly but sometimes it would be easier to just use it as an image.
Thanks,
Dennis
If you have acrobat Pro you can save the pages to jpeg. I do that often as it is much easier on the resources and looks better. That is if I dont need the vector data.

Yeah, I know, but it’s just one more step. Thanks though.

Sissortool and paste directly into Rhino is another fast option.

Is that in Windows or Acrobat?
You can also use Ghostscript (free and open-source) to extract PDF pages as images:
gs -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -sDEVICE=png16m -sOutputFile="Pic-%d.png" input.pdf
This one, snippingtool might be the english name. It’s a windows thing.
Got it. They renamed it to Snip & Sketch. Go figure! Thanks,
Dennis
