Hi Bobbyva,

You can't insert a PDF file in Punch.
These are the options
1 - Import the image and trace the lot --> Convert the PDF files plans to a raster format(In Adobe Acrobat --> Save as --> bmp, jpg, etc) --> In Punch --> Floor plan trace properties --> set image --> open the file --> BMP, JPEG, PNG, or *.tif --> OK--> scale as necessary --> use the plan to trace the property lines. contours, etc
2 - Convert the PDF file to DWG --> import the file

I am sorry... just want to make sure I am folloing you. Is this correct?

Convert the PDF file to a raster format.
Then, in Punch, choose:
Floor plan trace properties > Set image > Open the raster file > OK > Scale as necessary > Use the raster file to trace the property lines.

Or:
Convert the PDF file to DWG > Import the file

Hi there,

Are you trying to import from in the Quick Start screen?

If so, keep in mind that the Quick start mode is just this, a fast layout. Therefore, after you press the "Continue" button you will be able to Save, Import, Print, as well as use all the Punch features
