Frequently Asked Questions

How do I convert a PDF to AutoCAD?

Upload your PDF in the box above, click "Convert to DXF", and download the resulting DXF file. Open it directly in AutoCAD or any CAD application. The whole process takes just a few seconds.

Do I get a DWG or a DXF file?

You get a DXF file. DWG is Autodesk's proprietary binary format, while DXF is the open CAD exchange format that AutoCAD and virtually every other CAD program open natively. You can re-save it as DWG from inside AutoCAD if you need to.

What gets converted?

Vector geometry — lines, polylines, rectangles, and curves — along with text is converted into editable CAD entities placed at their original coordinates. Colors, layers, line weights, and hatch fills are simplified.

Can I convert a scanned PDF?

No. Scanned or image-only PDFs are raster pictures with no vector layer, so there are no lines to extract. This tool works with vector PDFs exported from CAD or design software.

Are my files secure and private?

Your file is sent over an encrypted (SSL) connection and processed automatically without anyone reviewing it. Uploaded files are deleted from our servers automatically within a few hours.

Does it work on Windows, Mac, and mobile?

Yes. PDFConvertMe runs entirely in your browser, so it works on any operating system or device — Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, and iOS.
