So, I've used a few pdf to dwg converters over the years, some better
than others, and although they do the job, they aren't great.I was wondering what other users can recommend with regards converters (either downloads or online).It would be nice to gain slight intelligence with the conversion i.e. text entities etc if at all possible.

Hello pizzle, I use "any pdf to dwg converter" because it's free.
Don't expect precise drawing, it's OK for a site field for you to study cranes or workshop locations, it won't be in the millimeter ( or inch ).
Texts are generally rotated horizontaly, I use the properties palette to rotate them all instead of rotating them one by one.
Some texts are turned into a lot of lines + hatches.
It will transform circles into a lot of unperfect lines.philippe JOSEPH2015-01-22 11:42:10

Cheers philippe, I'll check it out.The ones I've used always seem to convert text into lines and shabby hatch. Thanks
