What is the PDF to CAD converter?

This tool converts PDF drawings into DXF (Drawing Exchange Format), the standard CAD interchange format supported by virtually all CAD software, or into SVG. Working entirely in your browser with pdf.js, it reads the actual line, curve, and text operators inside a vector PDF and rebuilds them as editable CAD entities — polylines and text objects — rather than a flat image.

How to Use It

Upload your PDF drawing, choose which page or page range to convert, pick DXF for true editable geometry or SVG for a scalable image, and set the quality level. Click Convert to CAD, then download the result — a single file, or a ZIP if you converted multiple pages. Open the DXF directly in AutoCAD, LibreCAD, FreeCAD, SolidWorks, or any other CAD program.

When to Use It

Use it when you have an engineering drawing, architectural floor plan, or technical diagram only as a PDF and need to measure, edit, or trace it in CAD software. DXF works best on vector PDFs exported from CAD or design tools; for scanned or photo-based PDFs with no underlying vector data, choose the SVG option instead for a clean, scalable image.

Who Benefits

Architects and engineers who received a PDF instead of native CAD files, contractors needing to measure a floor plan, and hobbyist makers working from a technical diagram can get editable geometry instead of retracing a drawing from scratch by hand in CAD software.

💡 Tip: DXF extracts real vector geometry, so it works best with PDFs created from CAD or design software. For scanned or photo-based PDFs (which contain only pixels, no vectors), choose the SVG option instead.

Frequently Asked Questions

This tool outputs DXF, the open CAD exchange format that virtually every CAD program can read. To get a DWG file, open the DXF in AutoCAD, LibreCAD, or DraftSight and use its Save As or Export function — DXF to DWG is a direct, lossless conversion inside any CAD program.

DXF conversion extracts actual vector paths from the PDF's drawing commands. If your PDF is a scanned image or a photo of a drawing, there's no vector data to extract, so the DXF will come out empty or incomplete. Use the SVG output for scanned or photo-based PDFs instead.

No. The entire conversion — reading the PDF, extracting geometry, and building the DXF or SVG file — happens in your browser using JavaScript. The file is never sent anywhere.
