We digitalise obsolete PDF files into usable AutoCAD drawings with expert PDF to DWG conversion services for AEC projects around the globe.
What is PDF to CAD Conversion?
PDF to CAD is the process of creating AutoCAD DWG drawings from PDF files. The PDF files are typically hand drawn architectural, engineering or survey drawings of old, obsolete projects. The purpose is to digitalise drawing into cad software with accurate dimensions, annotation, nomenclature, layers and scale. The common uses of converting pdf to dwg are planning renovation, proposing design changes and collaborating with project stakeholders.

Our PDF to CAD Conversion Services Workflow
Setting up PDF Plan in CAD Software
Firstly, we import PDF drawing in AutoDesk’s AutoCAD software. We adjust the scale and position of PDF for proper alignment and enable the "Snap" and "Grid" settings for accurate tracing.
PDF to CAD Drafting
Consequently, our expert pdf to cad drafters review and identify all the design elements such as walls, doors, windows, columns, joinery and trace design elements using AutoCAD features such as lines, arcs, circles, etc.
Dimensioning & Layering
Lastly, after finishing the PDF to CAD conversion process, we assign dimensions to floor plans, sectional and elevational drawings and apply distinct layers in accordance with regional drafting standards, such as AIA.
Quality Checks
Finally, we conduct the final quality check of the converted AutoCAD drawing against the original pdf drawings to ensure all the details are accurately captured. The pdf to cad quality check process is completed in two stages.
