pdf2cad converts PDF, EPS, and AI files into DWG, DXF, and HPGL formats, producing scaleable and editable CAD drawings for use in various CAD, CAM, and CNC systems. Additionally, it offers features to control layering, line widths, scale, and other specifications.

With pdf2cad, opening and converting your PDF files is a breeze. Simply select the PDF file you want to convert, specify your conversion options, and then convert the file into the CAD format you need. The software is fast, accurate, and robust, making it an indispensable tool for unlocking and editing the objects and text in the PDF files you receive.
pdf2cad is perfect for professionals who work in Architecture, Engineering, Construction or Manufacturing fields. These professionals commonly store and exchange designs, schematics, floor-plans, and other technical drawings in the Adobe PDF file format. For CAD engineers, CNC operators, partners, and supply chain members, being able to view, test, edit, or reuse these documents is essential. pdf2cad provides a solid bridge between these two different file formats, making it easy to reproduce lines, shapes, text, and scale of the original drawing in the DWG, DXF, and HPGL formats.
It's important to note that there are two types of PDF files: vector and raster PDF. If the PDF file was generated by another application, it's most likely a vector PDF file. This is the ideal input format for pdf2cad, which will return scalable, editable vector objects and text with the highest degree of accuracy. If the PDF file is a scanned drawing, it's a raster PDF, and pdf2cad is limited to raster-to-raster conversion. In such cases, pdf2cad will produce a reliable tracing layer for your CAD system, but the tracing layer will not be editable at the object level.
In cases where scanned drawings need to be converted into editable objects, pdf2cad will create a tracing layer to help with redrawing. For those who prefer using the command-line, pdf2cad provides a command-line version of their application. Overall, pdf2cad is a proven application that is popular among professionals.
