Hi,

I do adobe illustrator images and save them as pdfs and jpgs. Most of my drawings are white canvas with black pencil to draw the designs.

I want to have my designs etched into some plastic items which I will give my family. The factory that will etch the items need a dwf or dxf file for their machine to make the etchings.

I know illustrator  can save as dxf or dwg but it also saves all the layers and this isnt what i want.

I essentially need a way of taking my illustrator designs and converting them into identical 2D dxf or dwg files. In illustrator my designs are drawn in black so I need those lines to be converted into exactly the same lines but in a CAD file.

What is the highest quality way of converting these files?

I hope this makes sense to someone and thanks in advance for the help.

If anyone has any other suggestions if I am going about this all the wrong way id really appreciate the help.

Cheers :)

Hi,
 
For your PDFs you can use pdf2cad. It is a PDF to DXF converter. It has an option to remove layers if needed. There is a fully functional trial version available on http://www.pdf2cad.com" rel="nofollow - http://www.pdf2cad.com
