Hi all
A subcontractor asked me for a drawing (solidworks 2018) in PDF vectorize!!!! Does anyone have a solution?
Thank you in advance.

I am afraid I do not fully understand the question
If you need to vectorize a pdf
See this link
If it's for an sw plan you just have to make a dxf recording
Or do a test, the pdf is often vectorized, this is particularly the case on inskape and other software. A pdf saved by solidworks might also do the trick.
If not, what is the purpose of this vectorization?

Hello, I think that SolidWorks by default should create a vector pdf of the drawing (like CATIA).
A simple test is to open the pdf (Acrobat reader or Inkscape) and zoom in if the lines remain lines (circle) it's a vector, if the lines smudge broken (Pixelated) it's not a vector.
However, the software (CorelDraw, or other) that will proofread this vector pdf can have a different interpretation, we often encounter the case of representations in the form of a rectangle of a simple line
