You want to convert PDFs with technical drawings into AutoCAD-compatible DXF files?
No problem with PdfGrabber!
The software is available for Microsoft Windows and Apple macOS. It is very easy to use and works very reliably – and best of all: you do NOT need Adobe Acrobat!
Convert vector-based PDF documents into DXF files that can be easily opened and edited in AutoCAD (R12, R15, R18 and R27 compatible) or other CAD software.
Choose what you would like to export: fonts, fills, text, images and layers.
Furthermore, PdfGrabber allows to convert scanned PDF documents into editable CAD drawings using vectorization technology.
In our screenshot you can see the original PDF (left side) and the result opened in CAD viewer (LibreCAD). The layout remains completely unchanged. You can now work with the document in your CAD application (e.g. AutoCAD) as usual.
This is of course also how it works with your own documents. Try it out without obligation using the trial version!
