Bluebeam-to-Rhino Problems

[technotrope]

Hello -

 

I'm trying to import a Bluebeam Revu file into Rhino, and have two problems I hope someone can help answer:

 

1. The Revu file won't import directly into Rhino. I get an unexpected end of file error. If I open and resave the PDF from Adobe, it will import into Rhino.

 

2. The PDF imports into Rhino, but without the Bluebeam markups--only the original PDF imports. Tech support at McNeel's office tells me, "It seems that the entire file is clipping paths-if I release those in Illustrator, then everything seems to come in OK." So, my questions are: Is there a better way to get the Bluebeam PDF into Rhino? Or, can I release these clipping paths IN Bluebeam? How about IN Adobe Acrobat?

 

Thanks, in advance, for any help or suggestions.
