I had on several drawings, probems with importing a PDF.
I found that very often the imported pdf in LXfree loses all detail and looks very pixellated. Is there a way to maintain the high resolution, so i would be able to read all text in the drawing?

Also how does the TRACK view in LXconsole works? Can I select multiple channels?

Peter,

The PDF format can hold many types of data-both vector and bitmap and/or a combination. PDF is the native format of Mac OS-X and LXFree imports PDF as it exists without altering it in any way. The operating system handles the entire process.

My guess is that the PDF you have is primarily a bitmap which would explain the pixellated appearance. One way to check is to open the original PDF in the Preview application.

The track sheet window in LXConsole is a spreadsheet view of all the channels in all the cues. You can edit the level of any channel in any cue by changing its value in the window.
