The first results from the ROSAT All Sky Survey on X-ray emission of PN are presented. X-ray emission from PN was detected. This is the case for NGC 6543, NGC 6853, A 12, NGC 4361, and LoTr 5. X-ray emission compatible with a point source was detected from BD+30 3639, but the spectral distribution of the X-ray photons indicates temperatures above 210 exp 6 K. It is argued that in all cases the central star of the PN can be excluded as the source of the observed X-ray emission.
