Here's one way, if you have a print device set up to capture an hpgl
file...
-Open the .pdf and print to file

-There are several freeware programs that will convert hpgl to dxf, if you
don't already own something with that capability. Use whatever to convert
your hpgl to .dxf

-Import .dxf to a .dra and modify elements to subclass you want them to be

-make a .clp and import the .clp to your .brd

Pretty straightforward, no?

Hello all,

Does anyone know of a method to convert PDF data (graphical) to a format
that can be imported by Allegro?

Thanks.
