Will Raster Design convert a PDF to a DWG?

I've heard Scan2CAD works pretty well, but make sure you double check everything.
Drink one for me.

I'll drink two for ya. Thanks!

Sounds good. I love those things.
I wish I could've been more help.

No problem - I think someone should have told me something about Raster Design:

"You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."

Thanks for the help

Will Raster Design convert a pdf to a dwg? If not, are there any programs available that will convert a pdf into a high-resolution tiff (or comparable) to bring into RD?

Hi

Try plugging the following search criteria into the forum search faciltiy...

Key Word(s): Convert + *PDF* + *DWG*

Import + *PDF* + *DWG*

Insert + *PDF* + *DWG*

Plus, maybe take a look at something like...

XnView

NConvert

Have a good one, Mike

You need to check out "GTX Raster CAD." This is very powerful 3rd party software that will convert raster images to vector. It even has OCR. It is worth the money for our company. I have not purchased an updated version in a long while. I do not know if they have released a 2005, 2006, or 2007 as of this time.

Depending on the contents of the PDF itself (whether it contains raster or vector data), you may get your desired results using one of these applications.

If you have adequate time and you request a high quality raster to vector drawing, RD is your best choice. There are many pdf to image converters online, one of them I'm using is from AXPDF: . It is a shareware but you can still use it to convert to a high-res tiff and convert into DWG with RD.

For easier methods and more convenient to get DWG directly from PDF is to get some converters. You can search in Google
