PDF with AC 10

Anonymous

It is little bit too early to ask:

Can we work on PDF-file in AC10?

In the past time I had to do the followings:
First open the PDF with Adobe Illustrator, and than save as DWG, and than exprot to PM, and from PM save as DXF, and open this file with AC.

With AC10 can we work directly PDF as vector form?

If it is possible, than first trial with any CAD-programms, isnt it?

But if you edit it in Illustrator, Acrobat, etc. it will update in ArchiCAD.
