Ways to convert PDF to CAD

2009-02-18View Original

Thread Content

There are many ways to convert PDF to CAD. 1. It can be done using Adobe Illustrator, but Adobe Illustrator is quite large in size. 2. Use GHOSTSCRIPT for conversion. The software that needs to be installed are: GHOSTSCRIPT, GSVIEW, and PSTOEDIT. 3.pdf2cad: No matter which method is used for conversion, there are some issues with the annotations and text after the conversion. It’s much better than redrawing it. Is it possible to convert PDF to JPG or other formats like BMP using software such as VPStudio? I’m currently testing it

The pdf2cad tool I use is relatively simple, but it leaves behind advertisements from that software as well as some unnecessary lines after the conversion. Which of these methods yields the best results? Do they all have drawbacks? Thank you!

I’ve used pdf2cad, but it wasn’t satisfactory; Illustrator is better. I haven’t tried converting PDF files with bitmaps to CAD yet; I guess it’s not possible to do that.

I converted it using Illustrator, but in CAD all the graphics and text are broken up; it looks okay, though editing it is very troublesome. Personally, I think it’s better to draw it by yourself if you’re able to
