Visual Integrity Creates AutoCAD Objects in pdf2cad v9.0

12-Sep-2012 | Norwalk, Connecticut | News-Press Release

Visual Integrity announced today that it has extended pdf2cad ™ to include support for DWG, the native format of AutoCAD® from Autodesk®, the world's most widely used computer-aided design and drafting application. The new release of pdf2cad v9.0 aids engineers in repurposing and redesigning technical drawings such as building layouts and product designs which are archived and exchanged in the Adobe® PDF format. Upon conversion, the PDF file is transformed into precise AutoCAD objects which can be modified and where any searchable text can be edited. Scale can be adjusted and layers are preserved. In addition to the AutoCAD DWG format, pdf2cad also outputs DXF and HPGL.

"AutoCAD users have been searching for a way to open a PDF drawing up and really edit it - layers, objects, text and all. Now, with pdf2cad v9.0, they can!" - Jean Haney, Founder of Visual Integrity [Pre-Approved Quote]

pdf2cad v9.0 extends what's possible in today's engineering packages by enabling object and text level editing. Many of these programs can already import PDF files as underlays allowing engineers and architects to clip or snap to the underlay and control the layers but they do not allow direct manipulation of the CAD objects. pdf2cad takes the built-in features a step further producing a drawing with the same editable quality as the original for immediate use. Using object extraction, pdf2cad generates an accurate drawing based on real data and vector relationships in the PDF file. It does not resort to less precise approaches such as electronic tracing, raster-to-vector conversion or approximation. pdf2cad will work successfully on any PDF file created on a computer using save, save-as, export or print-to-file. It is not intended for use on scanned drawings which contain flat raster images and no useful data about the CAD objects.

pdf2cad pdf2cad can be used either in batch mode, interactively or integrated into an application. It converts PDF files into DWG, DXF and HPGL. User-definable options optimize and customize the output during conversion, including settings for rotation, scaling, layers, font substitution, extracting raster images, setting line width, separating layers, and more.

Additional modules are available to generate other vector and bitmap formats such as SVG, WMF, EMF, CGM, MIF, EPS, PDF, PostScript, GIF, JPEG, PNG and TIFF as well as formatted ASCII text. Additional input modules include PostScript, EPS, WMF and EMF.
