Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use pdf2cad to convert (scanned) raster drawings to CAD as well?

The Top Most Frequently Asked Qu
No. pdf2cad is not raster-to-vector software. It cannot bitmaps into editable lines, shapes and objects. Raster images in the PDF file are saved as separate TIFF or JPEG files and referenced in the DXF output. So when you open the DXF in AutoCAD, you will see the images show up as well. You can use them as backgrounds, for example.

I want to convert PDF to a native AutoCAD .dwg file. Can I use pdf2cad?

The Top Most Frequently Asked Qu
Yes. pdf2cad converts to .dxf, the industry-standard CAD exchange format. You can open a DXF file in AutoCAD for viewing and editing. When you save it, you can do so in AutoCAD's native DWG file format. This will also make the file size a lot smaller compared to the DXF version, which as an exchange format can become quite large.
