Pdf to cad

Hi

can anyone tell me of a good pdf to cad program out there. i am constantly now getting pdf drawings and cant get hold of dwg. file. i have used some, and some do work but everything gets exploded, are there any programs out there that someone can recommend. i dont mind purchasing a package, snyone have any good ideas out there.

There isn't one.

I think that most of these types of programs will leave the user disappointed but it depends on whether or not the converted file is going to be edited using AutoCAD. I think there are a couple of programs that are reputed to be pretty good but I can't recall their names offhand at the moment. I'm sure we'll hear from other forum members on the topic so you'll just have to be patient and wait for an answer.

The best one I know of is called an "intern or summer help". With the holiday season about here you may be able to find an engineer student on break that needs some extra money.

Are they vector PDFs or Graphics PDFs?

I use VectPDF on vector PDFs, does satisfactory and Text becomes Text not lines. It is a LISP that uses PStoEdit and Ghostscript, I previously used GSVIEW and PStoEdit, This is a LOT easier and slightly better (and FREE).

For whatever reason I bookmarked this one based on a recommendation I read here but I haven't used it.
