We have found that some PDF files are either too large or have a huge number of attributes associated with them causing eTakeoff to slow down or not respond.

To convert Multi-page PDF files to Tiff files before loading a project into Dimension, you can download a free tool known as PDFill PDF Tools.

Click on the link below for the PDFill Free PDF & Image Writer and download the "Entire PDFill Package".
