PDFIMPORTFILTER (System Variable)

Controls what types of data are imported from a PDF file and converted to AutoCAD objects.

Type:	Bitcode
Saved in:	Registry
Initial value:	8

Value	Description
0	Imports all supported data types.
1	Excludes geometric objects.
2	Excludes TrueType text objects.
4	Excludes solid fills.
8	Excludes raster images.

Markup objects in PDF files are not supported data types and are automatically excluded.
