If you have PDF files generated by engineering or office applications, chances are good that they are vector PDF files. In this case,  pdf2cad is definitely the best choice. It accurately  extracts CAD objects and editable text for you to edit.

However, if you have scanned drawings, which are raster PDF files, you'll need a "raster to vector" solution (read more). One of the best products we have tested is Scan2CAD. Many of our customers find that they need both types of tools so we have arranged a special bundle together with Softcover. When buying the two products together, you'll save $200 over the price of buying them individually! Even better, you'll always have the right tool for any PDF to CAD conversion right on your desktop.

If it is highlighted in blue, it is raster and you need a product like Scan2CAD. If nothing happens, it is a vector PDF and will convert successfully with pdf2cad.
