I would like to imort a dwg or pdf into photoshop so I can add color
Whats the easiest way to do this? If I can do it with pdf then I'll be able to keep my sheet exactly like the original except with color
I wanted to try this as opposed to hand coloring some elevations
i would recommend importing them into illustrator, as photoshop will rasterize your dwg, while illustrator treats it as a vector graphic, preserving the quality of the file.
the only problem i have with using vector lines in illustrator is that when opened in acrobat, acrobat screws up all the line weights and makes them with the same thickness. is there a way to change this without rasterizing the lines?
In that case i would recommend using illustrator in this case- should be fine if you save as pdf from ill- but not sure what you need to open it in acrobat for? maybe you can workround that?

from dwg, print EPS(postscript printer) PDF, TIFF, JPG, or PDF (pdf printer)
drag drop into photoshop
or
place into PS
use selection tools and color

placeing of the PDF will not rasterize in Photoshop
Can I just import a pdf drawing into PS and add color? I tried it and it doesn't seem that simple
Which version of photoshop are you using? if its quite old- it wont be as intelligent about the pdf....
Version 7
