Dynamic Fill not working on some PDF files

Dynamic Fill is an awesome tool, but from time to time I do try to use i on drawings where even though I have an outline shape that appears to be closed, the Paint Bucket tool still bleeds out even at the smallest brush and slowest fill settings. Does anyone have any suggestions or found a fix for this?

Using it primarily to create Polygons or do SF Takeoffs on irregular shapes that take a while to click and trace with the Polygon or SF Markup Tools. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thx.

Figured out a fix. Thought was to try to trace over the linework with either CAD or Illustrator and replace the linework that was not working with Dynamic Fill. A colleague was able to extract the linework in CAD and publish a PDF. Dynamic worked perfectly on the new PDF and I pasted it back in on the original document. Save a ton of time over using the Area or Perimeter takeoff tools and having to click all around the linework to do the takeoff.

Hope this makes sense. Sorry can't include the document due to IP restraints,

I'm guessing the original was raster (picture only), the second one vectored (lines recognizable)

I've never really been able to use dynamic fill here in the UK as our drawings are basically useless when it comes to incomplete linework, etc..

I noticed the Dynamic Fill is not longer available unless its the Version Complete

Does any one have a resolve on this ? if its not available with the upgrade of Core?

Disappointed as it was available on the version previously had which was lower version Revu 20 standard and now its removed and considered an elite option and have to upgrade $$ to gain the access of the dynamic fill and Sort and filter mark up summary,

Fine tune Snapshots on a Page
Long post for context: Yesterday I was trying to compare a revised architectural to realize that the floor plan has shifted in both the X and Y, so this morning I did a page snapshot.

Scale by reference
In our work, we frequently need to compare floor plan drawings. Often, we have to compare older drawings from archives with very new and detailed ones. The scales of these drawings often differ — sometimes from 1:100 to 1:200, but more commonly with small variations of 1–5% at a detailed level. Our current workflow is as…
