To accomplish this we will print the attached PDF using the MicroStation Print dialog using one of the supplied raster plot configuration files. That’s not always possible, but there is an alternate solution. One way to correct this would be to rescan the original and save to a different raster format such as TIFF or JPEG then attach that image file in Raster Manager. In some instances, the image disappears completely. Solid lines get broken, or what looked like solid black lines when zoomed out are inundated with varying gray shaded pixels that make it hard to follow the actual features. This is a different type of degradation than you would see with a raster image such as TIFF, JPEG, or PNG.įor example, when zooming in on a scanned PDF document attached in Raster Manager you get something like this, or worse. The image looks fine when you are zoomed out, but degrades drastically when you zoom in or when you print it at the desired scale.

Using scanned, or other raster PDF documents, on the other hand, can present problems with display, processing, and printing of the raster data. Vector PDF documents attached in Raster Manager or Descartes typically work without issue.
