pdf2cad 11.2108.2.0

pdf2cad is a simple-to-use program that facilitates the conversion of files from the PDF format to the DXF and DWG file types, supported by AutoCAD. But it also supports the HP-GL/2 format, associated with the Hewlett-Packard Graphics Language.

Comes with an old-school, yet user-friendly UI
The interface of the app is based on a wizard-like layout, so you just have to follow a few simple steps to carry out a task in no time.

PDFs can be imported into the list using either the file browser or drag-and-drop function. Batch processing is supported, so you can add as many files as you want, to convert them at once.

The simplest way to initialize the encoding operation using default settings is by specifying the extension and output directory, which can be the same as the original items or otherwise.

Provides you with numerous options for customizing your output results
However, advanced users are usually interested in adjusting the conversion process to their own preferences. Therefore, you can select the characters as strings or curves, rotate the output by any number of degrees, scale the text, emulate PDF cropping, as well as ignore paths, text and images.

Moreover, you can add font mappings, remove white margins, configure the page size, convert only pages within a range, as well as process multi-page PDFs to a single item or multiple ones, or join them horizontally or vertically. As far as DXF and DWG format options go, you can specify the precision factor, select the layer mode, establish the minimum line width, and choose a fill option.

A handy PDF conversion tool for engineers, architects and anyone working with CAD apps
pdf2cad is light on the system resources, using a low-to-moderate quantity of CPU and system memory. It has a good response time and finishes a conversion job rapidly and without errors. We have not come across any issues throughout our evaluation. Thanks to its intuitive layout yet advanced configuration, pdf2cad should please the entire audience.
