Why Use pdf2cad?

More and more often, companies in AEC (Architecture, Engineering, Construction) and Manufacturing store or receive design drawings in the Adobe® PDF file format. Throughout the supply chain however, CAD engineers and CNC operators sometimes need to be able to view, test, edit or otherwise (re)use the geometry locked inside these documents. pdf2cad provides a universal bridge, accurately reproducing lines, shapes and text strings in the industry-standard DXF exchange format.

If your PDF files are vector-based, you no longer need to lose valuable time and quality by printing, scanning and vectorizing the drawings - and then cleaning up the mess. You can forget about redrawing floorplans or mechanical designs from scratch, or firing up a big DTP application every time you need a drawing. Just run them all through pdf2cad.
