Professional PDF to CAD DWG converter

Convert PDF files (Raster or Vector Based) into a vector based DWG or DXF file, which can be imported into any CAD system for editing.  We normally advise only using vector based files for consistent quality results.

■ High Conversion Quality with CAD Entities Recognition
■ Purging of Polyline Nodes and File Size Optimizing
■ Text Height Normalization and Line Weight Standardization
■ Calibration of Coordinates and Scaling with Calibration Points
■ Recognition of a TTF Text as Native DWG Text
■ Recognition of not Native PDF Text (OCR) as Native DWG Text
■ Conversion of All or of Selected Pages
■ Vectorization of PDF Raster Images as Center Line, Outline or Solid
■ Automatic PDF Line Type Recognition (Dashed, Dashdot or Dotted)
■ Integrated PDF Viewer for Construction Drawings
■ Integrated DWG/DXF Viewer with Redlining and Post Processing

Wide Input - converts PDF files into a DWG or DXF file, which can then be imported into any CAD system for editing. It is a standalone and CAD system-independent program. It also converts DWG/DXF into PDF, TIFF/JPEG into DWG, DWF into DWG/DXF and HPGL into DWG/DXF.

OCR of Text - not only uses conversion and vectorization methods, but also uses OCR (Optical Character Recognition) to reconstruct the content of a PDF or raster file. The program can also recognize the PDF text  that has been deconstructed into polyline fields, and/or pixel pictures as full and editable CAD text.

Calibration - can precisely adjust, de-skew, and turn the converted drawing with the help of any number of arbitrary calibration points. One can be certain that a 300mm thick wall will remain 300mm thick  after the conversion and will not be 290mmt thick. Likewise, a horizontal line will stay horizontal after the conversion.

Entity Recognition - converts files into DWG version 14, 2000 - 2017 or DXF version 12, 2000-2017 All vectors, lines, circles, arcs, surfaces, splines, text, and pixel images are transferred into DWG or DXF. The pixel images can be converted into vectors, embedded or stored in separate files. Special functions generate circles and arcs. PDF layer structure is supported, or if not available, this can be created on the basis of color or line widths. PDF characters are put together to create a new text. PDF properties such as line widths and line types are also converted into CAD properties.

Colours Recognition - converts PDF colours into CAD index of colours or full RGB colours. Also supports TTF fonts. With multi-page PDF documents, one can specify which pages to convert.

Circle, Arc Recognition - recognize circles and Arcs. Normal well-created PDF files contain lines, hatches, circles, and arcs as PDF element paths or PDF element Bézier curves. Circles or arcs do not exist in PDF definition; they are Bézier curves or polylines. A human has the capability and intelligence to recognize circles and arcs, however for software to have this same type of recognition takes a lot more effort.

Raster To Vector - converts and vectorizes raster pictures from PDF, HPGL, DWF, TIFF, and JPEG files. The input files can be done using a scanner or generated directly from CAD systems in different quality levels. With the help of Raster to Vector Methods, you can recognize all circles, arcs, and lines. With the help of OCR (Optical Character Recognition), you can recognize Texts. With the help of Pattern Recognition, you can recognize dash or dash dotted line types. With the help of coordinate calibration, you can correct the accuracy of the converted drawing.

Text Recognition - merges characters into strings and places these strings as texts in the DWG or DXF drawing. In PDF or DWF files, text is usually defined as separate characters or groups of characters with their own insertion points. With the help of special internal methods. If the PDF, HPGL, DWF or TIFF /JPEG file contains text which are exploded into lines, polylines, hatches or raster pictures one can use internal OCR (Optical Character Recognition) methods to convert these types of "text" into real and native text.

Line Type Recognition - recognizes the dashed or chain dotted line types, and will connect them to form a proper CAD line and/or polyline with a line type. The lines may have any angle of inclination.
