JevoUK Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 When I open an Illustrator PDF document that was created using the measurement in millimetres, AD always sets the measurement to points, does anyone else have this happen? I would like it to open in millimetres. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vonBusing Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 I believe all pdfs are opened in points. If you provide the file resolution or let AD guess (that usually works quite well), then you can go in the Document Setup and switch the document unit to mm. Converted size should be as expected. I can imagine situations when points for imported documents make sense, but the vast majority of my documents are also sized in mm. Having the option to set that in the pdf import dialogue would be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
