I have installed MicroStation connect Update 17 and imported a pdf file into a new "dgn" file as the demo and the explanation. That PDF which I prepared from a fully vector dgn file without any image. The importing process was very simple but there was no any difference of pdf file. It was not converted into vector and acting as an image. Please help me to convert a pdf to vector.

Please search this Forum for a recent thread on the same topic. The thread reveals the secret sauce to convert PDF vector to DGN elements.

Hi James
For PDF vector , Set the Configuration Variable "MS_IMPORT_USINGADOBEPDF" to 0.

Hi Pravin,
Thank you for your information. Conversion of straight line is fine but the line style, curves, arcs, fonts are becoming a compound of bit of straight lines. Do have any solution for that or wait until next version?

Hi James,
Can share the test file with the step to reproduce the issue?
Yes, I set that config variable. Still don't get desired results. Can you help me "crack the code"?
The attached looks like it should work
