PDF to CAD Workflows for Flawless Results

Turning old drawings and scanned documents into clean editable CAD files takes much more than drawing some lines it takes process automation for a proven process, advanced technology, and supervision from our expert professional team. At CAD Drafters, we have a process for converting PDF to CAD that guarantees every file is done accurately, with a clear layering system, and in compliance with the original project guidelines.

Teamwork and Feedback

From the start of the project, we have been working with you to understand the original PDF files and what you need the files for after the conversion. Sometimes there are clear markups or redlines, and sometimes there are scanned images that are less than clear. We confirm the complexities of the drawing, have a layered system set in place so it is easy to make and check queries on areas of the drawings, and we send you drafts over each step of the project for feedback.

Final Files Quality Control and Return

After the drafting is complete, each CAD file converted goes through our quality check line of fire. During the quality check phase, we verify dimensions, check layers on the files, and confirm you are in compliance and using industry standard text, symbols, references, etc., and your internal templates. After we review and quality check the drafting files scale, dimensions, accuracy, and layering, we will submit final files in the format preferred, i.e., DWG, DXF, etc., or whatever format you require. As we return the original files to you, you will be able to plug these files.
