Unable to use PDFATTACH command in Autodesk Civil 3D on PDF's exported from ArcGIS Pro 3.0

Anonymous User — Fri, 05 Aug 2022 16:17:43 GMT

I recently exported PDF exhibits from ArcGIS Pro 3.0. An engineering collogue used the PDFATTACH command in Civil 3D as he usually does to attach PDF. He found that the PDF's would not attach and Civil 3D gave no error messages.

PDF's exported from ArcGIS Pro prior to the 3.0 update and any other PDF's are able to be attached without any problems.

Any thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hi @Anonymous User,

Can you let us know which version of Civil 3D your colleague is using? We want to make sure we test this out on our side to verify if the problem is in the PDF export or if there is something else going on in Autodesk Civil 3D. Also, since this question is related to ArcGIS Pro and not ArcGIS GeoBIM, I am going to move this question into the Pro community where our teams there can help look into this.
