Extracts CAD Drawings in Seconds!

pdf2cad™ converts engineering drawings saved as Adobe PDF files into DXF files that you can open and edit in TurboCAD®, DoubleCAD®, DesignCAD®, AutoCAD™ and other popular engineering programs. This vector image format can then be edited and saved in native CAD formats such as DWG and DGN. pdf2cad also generates HPGL which is a popular CAD archival format.

pdf2cad is ideal for converting PDF-based CAD drawings as wells as floor-plans, network diagrams and organization charts into Microsoft® Visio®. This capability is key as more and more firms are storing and receiving drawings in the Adobe PDF file format and need to use them with Visio.
