pdf2cad converts vector PDF engineering drawings into the DXF and HPGL formats for import as scalable and editable objects in AutoCAD, UniGraphics, Microstation and other CAD, CAM, and CNC systems as well as Microsoft Visio.

PDF is being used extensively in architecture, engineering, construction and manufacturing for storing and exchanging designs, schematics, floor-plans and other technical drawings. CAD engineers, CNC operators, partners and supply chain members need to be able to view, test, edit or recycle the geometry locked inside these documents.

Now, pdf2cad provides the bridge. It accurately reproduces lines, shapes and text strings in the industry-standard DXF and HPGL formats.

If your PDF files were generated from an application, you can convert them to CAD objects quickly and easily with pdf2cad. If you have scanned drawings, you'll need another solution such as Scan2CAD.
