How to import a PDF file into PriMus

Antony 2019-09-02 15:55:16


Here's another really interesting technical support case

Request
Why is it that when I import a PDF file I get the message: 'The file does not contain valid information for the generation of a PriMus document'?

Answer
First thing to understand is with which version of PriMus the '.PDF ' document was created?

Important!!! - the data contained in '.PDF' documents can be re-imported into a '.DCF' document only if the following conditions are satisfied:

1) that the software version used to generate/export the .PDF file is PriMus v.POWER (or later versions) ;
2) that the version used to import the data contained in the .PDF is PriMus v.POWER (or later versions);
3) that the PDF file obtained with PriMus v.POWER (or later versions) will NOT subsequently be backed up in PDF with other software (for example: Adobe Acrobat, PDF Creator, etc.).
4) that the PDF file obtained with PriMus v.POWER (or later versions) will NOT be generated by printing with a 'virtual print driver' such as (PDF Creator, etc.).
