Autoballoons for PDF Files

The Auto Extract tool automatically applies balloons to characteristics in PDF files, which reduces the time and effort needed to balloon PDF files.

Auto Extract uses a machine learning technique to locate the positions and types of annotations, then attaches balloons to them. You can also use this tool to automatically apply balloons to CAD files. The Auto Extract tool replaces the Smart Extract tool.

In a PDF file, on the Document ribbon, click Auto Extract . Auto Extract does not support notes or weld symbols.

You can also manually extract characteristics with the Manual Extract tool (Document ribbon).
