Word format drawing

There was an error rendering this rich post.

I was sent a drawing in Word format so I used the bluebeam pdf printer to convert the file type. The problem that I'm having is that when I open it to measure the normal navigation controls don't work and when you zoom in the drawing quality gets bad.

Looking for any assistance anyone can provide.

Thank you!

Seems like this is a problem with original file format. If the person that sent it inserted the drawing in Word, it sounds like it was compressed and converted from vector to raster processing, thus the image quality issues.

Could they send the original data that they inserted?

Once you receive a file that has been reduced, I do not believe Bluebeam can un-reduce it and restore the original quality/resolution.

Will request original file.

Thank you for your assistance!
