Question

Running Autocad 2015 64 bit on Windows 7 64 bit with DC Pro.  The Acrobat Toolbar installed by DC in autocad will not show a PDF underlay in the new pdf file.  It shows text that reads "PDF underlays can only be viewed in the 2D wireframe visual style."  The CAD drawing is set to 2D wireframe and the pdf underlay is viewable in the CAD file.

Will someone with DC Pro and hopefully 2015 AutoCAD try to duplicate the issue.

1. Open a new 2D file in CAD.

2. Insert a PDF into the CAD file.

3.  Draw a rectangle or some lines over the pdf you inserted.

4.  Create a new pdf using the Acrobat Toolbar DC installed into Autocad.  Using the Acrobat toolbar is important as the standard print to pdf using the distiller does not have this problem.

5.  Let me know if the pdf you inserted shows up in the new pdf file you made in step 4.

Thank you
