I currently have drawings in PDF format. I want to transform them into auto cad format in order to make changes such as removing the title block or all the different writings. 

do you know a software capable of doing this, I'm ready to relist this work

Hello


Yes, there are utilities.  pdf2cad (Paid, also available in a 30-day trial version), otherwise, from memory, the open source software Ghostview+Ghostscript allows you to vectorize PDFs to DXF, readable by Autocad.
Be careful, this only works if the PDF contains a vectorized document. This does not work with PDFs that have been generated from a scanner (bimap images)

 

 

 


You also have "PDF to DWG Converter": http://www.autodwg.com/pdf-to-dwg-conve ... df2dwg.htm
But like most (all?) software of this type, it only works if the pdf is vectorized and not from an image.
This one is free: http://www.brothersoft.fr/PDF-to-DWG-140321.html

 

To what end................ Otherwise you have to revectorize the planes

I can do it on SolidWorks if I have all the dimensions

Hello another free log Inkscape see answer click HERE.

It can vectorize a non-vector pdf but the result is difficult to use.

Hello

 

Personally, I do this with Adobe Illustrator and it works quite well but as gt22 said the pdf file must be vectorized!

However, this software has a paid license. For my part, it is part of the CS6 pack. I don't know if we can have it independently...

Hello

 

This can be done online, and I believe it works for all types of PDFs (vector or not) with this site:

 

www.zamzar.com

 

After that, it's sure that the result won't be very "clean" if it's a non-vector drawing!

Hello

 

There is now a plugin that can run on DrafSight free version (from draftsight, no need for premium).

This extension is available for testing for 30 days, and it's here:

Hello

Download the Inkscape software from 01net, it's free and it works very well. I use it.

Hello, if your pc is in 32bit, there is the gsview program which works very well for drawing, but it transforms it into dxf and you have to scale.
