I take it you have continuous rasterization on. You could use AE to rasterize them. Pre-comp each PDF into a comp that = is maybe twice as big as what you need. Do not use collapse = transformations when you bring them into your main comp. If you need to zoom way into an area, you could make a higher resolution = version of that area and then position the detailed version over the = whole-page version and parent it. Brendan
