Converting a jpg to a pdf and then converting the pdf to a dwg file sounds like a receipe for disaster if you ask me. I've had less than satisfactory results just converting from pdf to dwg.

*.pdf converter, pdf2cad, I use on occasion. The converter converts the *.pdf to *.dxf. As ReMark states, "less than satisfactory results".

 

Why not just insert the *.jpg image?

Just copy the image and paste in AutoCAD. Thats all. It works for me in AutoCAD 2008.

sudhaathreya, If you show a picture to us, and will describe that particularly it is necessary for you to change, only then you will receive true and an irrefragable answer ;)

An image would need to be "touched up" in any photo editor.

 

A *.pdf converted to a .*dxf file can be opened and edited using AutoCAD.

However, as ReMark notes (and I agree), results are less than satisfactory.

 

I always wind up redrawing and trashing the "junque" from the conversion.

 

As Geobuilder said, "If you show a picture to us..........."

That would be a BIG help.

 

I pefer to insert the image into AutoCAD, scale the image, send the image to the back (draworder), turn off the frame, trace 'n then remove the image. Tracing over I usually use a color that I can see well; i.e.: red on white.

 

I often edit the image before inserting into the *.dwg.

And how do you make changes to it once you copy and paste it? :?

 

I have not made any changes but you can measure its dimensions. My work was to measure the magnification of some images taken from other software which does not show its magnification scale. So I transferred JPEG file to AUtoCAD and measured the distance between two points. But Changes in JPEG are not possible. :(:(
