Select "Save As..", and then select the format and version of the DWG or "DXF or DWT. You can also select "Export as.." to save in other CAD formats e.g. DGN, STEP IGE etc.
Program ActCAD PDF2DXF Converter is an excellent tool for engineering work that is standard equipment in the ActCAD family: Prime, BIM, Professional and Standard.
ActCAD PDF2CAD Converter processes data from vector PDF files
into editable CAD objects compatible with DXF/DWG file formats, which are then available for editing in any design software such as ActCAD, Ares, AutoCAD, BricsCAD, CorelCAD, Draftsight, Intersoft, ProgeCAD, or ZwCAD. They can also be used in surveying programs and graphics programs such as Corel or word processors that support import from dxf files.
The application recognizes elements such as: lines, polylines, segments, arcs, circles, ellipses, text descriptions, element colors and images.
- In the video above, the conversion from PDF to DXF was used to convert a geodetic digital map saved
using other CAD software
as a vector PDF file.
- As we can see, the whole process of opening PDF in ActCAD software, converting PDF and saving the received data into an editable DXF file, and then opening the already converted dxf file took only 18 seconds!!
- The advantage of quickly converting a pdf file to a vector CAD file in CAD software is the fact that it eliminates the need to send a PDF file as a raster background along with the design file in the created CAD format. You don't have to worry about the correct linking of the pdf underlay, which causes a lot of trouble for some CAD software users.
- A processed pdf file into a dxf and then saved as a dwg file is much smaller in size than a vector pdf file.
- The PDF conversion process also eliminates the cumbersome of calibrating the PDF base, as the drawing obtained as a result of the conversion is already calibrated to the print scale. In the video we can see a drawing of a geodetic map, which was generated to the print size of an A3 sheet at a scale of 1:500. After the conversion, we obtained a vector image of the base map corresponding to what would be printed on a sheet of A3 paper at a scale of 1:500. Simply scale it up to get a dxf drawing in the actual units of measurement used in surveying.
- The converted vector content can also be saved as a block, which is more convenient for some applications.
- Compared to the above-mentioned programs, the PDF to DXF converter is available to ActCAD users for free!!
