Convert PDF and PostScript to DXF for CAD

edit and repurpose in CAD
drive CNC machines & HPGL plotters
store and publish drawings in XML
create universally readable archives

See for yourself: Click here to send us a PDF file.
We'll convert it to DXF, free of charge.

Note: The PDF files must be vector based for conversion in pdfFLY. This means the PDF was originally created from CAD vectors, typically by using Adobe Acrobat Distiller.

A vector PDF can never be created by scanning to PDF format or by inserting a raster image into a PDF. You can read lots more about this here.

If you need to convert a PDF that you know was created from a scan or raster image click here.
 

Input:

vector
Acrobat PDF

or

PostScript
PS files  
Output formats are:

DXF
for CAD/CNC (e.g. import & edit in AutoCAD, Catia, Visio, etc).

SVG for XML and Web publishing.

BMP, EPS, MIF for desktop publishing.

HPGL - convert PDFs to print on your existing HPGL plotter.

CGM, EMF, WMF for archiving.

Command line driven batch conversion version: for both Windows and UNIX platforms. Enables pdfFLY to run server-side, fully automated, as part of an enterprise data management system or Web-based application.

Notes:

1) Raster content in PDFs: pdfFLY is designed to convert the vector content of PDF files. Raster content in PDF files, produced from scans or raster image formats like TIFF, does not contain vector graphics. When a PDF containing raster content is processed through pdfFLY the result will be the same raster image in JPEG format, not editable vector graphics. For conversion of image-only PDF files to vectors see TracTrix software. If you don't know whether you have vector or image-only PDF files please see our explanation or send us a sample PDF and we'll tell you which it is.

2) Conversion entities: The vector types in a PDF file do not match exactly the vector types in DXF. Consequently some entities will be created using DXF line types that differ from those you would use if you were to create the file in a CAD application. You should therefore expect that some manual clean-up of the DXF may be required.
