Convert PDF to DXF

2D plans Layout

Hello

I'm looking to convert PDFs to DXF to open them in Draftsight

Faced with the plethora of more or less free software available on the net, I was wondering which tool do you use?

Which do you think is best?

Thank you for your feedback

Hello

Before converting a Pdf to DXF you need to make sure that it is a Pdf (Vector), not a scan or a simple image.

A simple test at the aperture when you Zoom the circles must remain circles if the lines get bigger and this degrades, it's not a Vector Pdf (we won't be able to do much with it).

With freeware you can recover the trace but be careful in the form of a line independent of each other (the dimensions are also of the line) so not easy either if they are plans of molded parts with few flat faces, etc.

I use InkScape (free) it is able to vectorize.

If it's to rework them, it would be better to find the native sources and record in DXF.

I use the online service http://dwg.autodwg.com/

 

Who is one of the few who in this condition explains that he doesn't keep the PDF and doesn't sell your info:)

If you have an adobe suite, you can also try with adobe illustrator.

You open the plan and do "file/extract" but as efficient as Inkscape....

I'm afraid that for your side take it's cooked....

Good luck to you.

I had a colleague (who works more with us) who had a pdf viewer capable of measuring :)

 

EDIT, fortunately his pc is still there, it's PDF-XChange which allows you to measure on a pdf file
