    Default PDF to DWG converter

    Registered forum members do not see this ad.

    Could someone recommend a good (& cheap) PDF to DWG converter program. I've tried PDF2CAD which worked reasonable well although it didn't seem to recognize text. Obviously I'm only trying to convert CAD generated pdf's.

    Any help would be much appreciated.

    "Good and cheap". Those are two diametrically opposed conditions when it comes to PDF-to-DWG conversion programs.

    I've just given it a go. It's not bad for the money. Some of the other ones out there are a bit better but it will certainly do what I need it to do.

    Thanks for your help.

    Thanks Nancy I'll give it a go. I have been trying out Print2CAD which is reasonable but I have trouble with the text.

    Apparently the PDF to DWG-business is a lucatrive business.
