Support for PDF import missing

Open kisolre opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

FreeCAD is expected to have PDF import as an image available - Import_Export. This thread shows that it is missing in recent dev versions under Windows. This thread suggests that it uses Qt plugin that needs to be included. It is not included in latest LibPack (1.0.0_3.0.0) so the VS build does not support importing PDF as an image.

This is due to a problem with my local build system: if you create the LibPack yourself and ensure that your local Qt installation has QtPDF in it, your LibPack should work. I will reinstall Qt and recreate the LibPack release with that missing file.

I am building with the latest 3.1.0 Libpack and just checked that PDF in not in the supported Import file formats. Why was the issue closed then? Or am I missing something? I tried selecting a PDF file with the filter "all files" and nothing got imported.

It is indeed missing from 3.1.0, but will be included in 3.1.1 (I marked this as closed just before I discovered an unrelated bug in the 3.1.1 release and pulled it... sorry for the confusion, and the delay. It should be ready for release shortly.)
