Import PDF Files into a Job

2 views March 26, 2026

Use this procedure to import PDF plan files into an existing Pipeline LBM job from the Takeoff workspace. This is commonly done when a job was created without a PDF or when additional sheets need to be added to an existing job.

Notes:

  • You can import multiple PDFs into the same job, one file at a time.
  • Importing a PDF does not overwrite existing sheets or takeoff data.
  • Large or high-resolution PDFs may take longer to upload.

 Import a PDF into an existing job

  1. Open the job in the Takeoff workspace.
  2. Select Import a file in the Takeoff workspace.
  3. Click Select File.
  4. Browse to the location of your PDF file and select Open.
  5. Select Import to upload the file.

Results: The PDF is imported into the job and opens automatically in the Takeoff workspace. The new sheet is added to the Sheets panel so you can begin working with it immediately. If the PDF does not appear after import, refresh the page and check the Sheets panel.
