what is the best way to import pdf drawing to autocad 2010 so that the pdf drawing can be edited i.e. remove all unnecessary text, labels etc. and put all the the remaining stuff in layers and do a mechanical (air conditioning) drawing over it....
Any one knows the best solution to this.....pliz let me know....cheers.... |

Hello
Open the PDF in Adobe Illustrator. Then export the drawing to AutoCAD on a 8 bit setting. Open the drawing and use scale command to scale the drawing according to the pdf drawing scale. If there isn't a drawing scale then use a dimension on the drawing. Good Luck!!! |

You'll re-work the AutoCAD drawing and make revisions and/or changes there.
You could open the *.pdf in Adobe Pro and do a little *.pdf cropping there, save as a *.pdf then open in Illustrator.

Yes, like Tankman said. You can modify the drawings. Yet the line weights and layers may not be the same. That depends if they plotted with it. If they flatten the pdf. Then layers won't be available.

You could also try www.pdf2cad.com.
Not a great job but, it will get you started.
I believe there is a free trial download to try it out.
I use pdf2cad on occasion.
Good luck!

I USE PRINT2CAD CONVERSTION SOFTWARE. $149 SOFTWARE THAT TAKES CARE OF VECTOR PDFS NICELY. RASTER PDFS PRETTY MUCH NEED TO BE REDRAWN AFTER CONVERSION.

Hello,
I can confirm a fully functional pdf2cad 30 days trial version is available from http://www.pdf2cad.com.
If you do not have the time to test pdf2cad, you can upload a test file and Visual Integrity will convert it for you.
If you think pdf2cad does not a great job, please contact us at support-at-pdf2cad.com and let us know why you are not satisfied with the conversion results. We will be more than happy to help you fine tune conversion options to reach your expectations.

I offen Use Illustrator open PDF and export to DFX format.
But the PDF must be built by AutoCAD or some drawing software and not a picture!
http://www.squidoo.com/pdf-to-dwg there are three way to convert the PDF to DWG Edited by autocadtk - 03.Dec.2010 at 04:47 |
