A note about filesizes
with AutoCAD .DWG, Microstation .DGN
DXF is a CAD exchange format. Because of
that, the file size that pdf2cad produces may become very
large. However, when you open the DXF result in AutoCAD or Microstation and re-save it in their native binary file format (.DWG or .DGN,
respectively), the size of that file will shrink to a normal level. And, you
will have your drawings in the native format of your CAD application.
