Converting to Legacy DWG Using SwifDoo PDF Converter

Converting to Legacy DWG Using SwifDoo PDF Converter

SwifDoo PDF to DWG Converter is a powerful tool to easily and quickly convert PDF files to editable DWG files. With it, you can recover elements from PDF file and map them to DWG file.

CAD Files

DWG format is supported by most CAD programs such as AutoCAD, IntellCad etc. It provides high quality, high efficiency and many options.

DXF (Drawing Interchange Format or Drawing Exchange Format) are CAD data files and are compatible with any CAD system. SwifDoo PDF Converter also ensures compatibility with any programs compatible with this data format.

Key features of the SwifDoo PDF for Windows:

  • Converting PDF files to DWG format
  • Standalone application – does not require AutoCAD installed
  • PDF to DWG Converter has a batch conversion mode
  • Support for elements such as polylines, polygons, texts, etc.
  • The program allows you to extract images from a PDF file
  • High quality and high efficiency

How to Convert PDF Files to Drawing Files in SwifDoo PDF

PDF file can be converted to a drawing file in a variety of ways. You can use the PDF to CAD feature to do this.

  • Choose Convert tag in the upper of the program screen.
  • Click the PDF to CAD option under the “PDF to More” tag.
  • Click on file open option.
  • Select the PDF file you want to import.
  • Choose the DWG format to define the default output format, and you can set the output path as you wish.
  • Simply hit the “Start” button and the program will automatically convert the PDF file.
  • When it’s done, you have successfully converted a PDF file to a DWG file.

Alternatively, You can also us its PDF to DWG Online tool to do random conversion practices.

Why SwifDoo PDF?

Easy Collaboration

In architecture, construction, and industry, cooperation of all team members is needed in all phases of the project – from design to execution. Technical information must be passed on all the time up and down the supply chain. An important part of this chain are technical drawings: designs, layouts, diagrams, maps, illustrations, artwork and others.

Comprehensive PDF Solution

Customers, suppliers and partners use different applications on different platforms for each project. This leads to document incompatibility issues and wasted valuable time. Version control, liability issues and intellectual property protection are other reasons why original CAD files are not transferred.

Batch Conversion Options

More and more contractors and other members of the supply chain receive drawings in PDF format. And there is often a need, for various reasons (e.g. review, plotting, editing, measuring, testing, connections, profiling, cropping) to transfer them to an environment where such drawings can be edited.

In many cases, PDF files are part of a request for proposals and architects and engineers must redraw the sketches from the request for proposals in order to prepare a good proposal.

PDF-Oriented

Most CAD/CAM/CNC systems do not support PDF as input format. And there is no easy way to extract vector geometry from a PDF file to CAD format. So designers and operators have little choice; redraw the graphics from a sketch, use scanned paper PDF printouts, or use software that converts PDF directly to vector drawing.

In Conclusion

The first way is very time-consuming. The second way is difficult to use – the drawing may be slightly askew on the scanner, and vertical or horizontal lines will become “stepped”. In both cases, time and drawing quality are lost.

If the PDF file was generated directly from a CAD graphics application, the vector geometry is still present. SwifDoo PDF can quickly and precisely convert such PDF files to DWG/DXF file format, maintaining excellent quality in a short time.
