How To Open Pdf Files In Silhouette Studio For Mac

I have a Silhouette Cameo digital cutter and though their software is 'nice' I would much prefer to do my designing in AD and then be able to transfer the design to the Silhouette Studio software. I am able to import SVGs, but I'm having problems, and since this is new to me, I'm probably doing something wrong.

If I make a design in iDraw and export it to svg, it will import to Silhouette Studio fine. But if I make the same design in AD, it imports without the bitmap fill, and is only a fraction of the original size. Any help would be appreciated, except PLEASE don't tell me to use iDraw just because it works. LOL I LOVE AD, just want to be able to do more with it.

I'm uploading screenshots of both iDraw and AD, plus the exported SVGs, and screenshots of both SVGs imported into Silhouette Studio. Again, thanks in advance, I'm guessing it is some setting I'm using while exporting, which I haven't figured out.
