pdf2cad converts engineering drawings saved as Adobe PDF files into DXF files that you can open and edit in AutoCAD and other popular engineering programs. They can then be edited and saved in native CAD formats such as DWG for AutoCAD and DGN for Microstation. pdf2cad also generates HPGL which is a popular CAD archival format.
pdf2cad is ideal for converting PDF-based CAD drawings as wells as floor-plans, network Diagrams and organization charts into Microsoft Visio. This capability is key as more and more firms are storing and receiving drawings in the Adobe PDF file format and need to use them with Visio
