PDFIMPORTIMAGEPATH (System Variable)

Specifies the folder where referenced image files are extracted and saved when importing PDF files.

Type:String
Saved in:Registry
Initial value:"PDF Images"

When you import a PDF file that contains raster images, the images are extracted and saved as PNG files. These extracted images are attached to the drawing file.

By default, the images are saved in a subfolder of the current drawing file named PDF Images. You can change the folder location of these referenced image files with the PDFIMPORTIMAGEPATH system variable or by using the Options dialog box, Files tab, PDF Import Image Location node.

Whether raster images are generated depends on the PDFIMPORTFILTER system variable.
