Use the current layer. All objects are imported to the current layer even if layers were defined in the PDF file. If necessary, turns on the current layer.

Raster and markup objects in PDF files are not supported data types and are automatically excluded.

Note: Text that was originally created with AutoCAD SHX fonts are stored as geometric objects in PDF files.
