A new version 12 release for the PDF to DWG converter, pdf2cad v12 from Visual Integrity, includes advanced features for working with CAD layers, automatic font-mapping, a capability to merge pages into a single drawing and an option to convert password-protected PDF files.

Insert PDF for PowerPoint and Insert PDF for Visio are Microsoft Office add-ins.
