Paper blueprints to CAD files
Take paper blueprints from three decades ago, and digitize them into clean, editable CAD files. We scan, trace, and verify; ensuring all details are preserved to respect the original design intent, while modernizing your project library for efficient updates.
Scanned Images to Editable Drafts
If you only have low-quality scans or faded drawings that you wish to turn into clean editable CAD files, we can convert those scanned images using expert drafting skills and powerful CAD software into crisp, editable CAD files.
As-Built Drawings
Do you want to reflect the changes that were implemented during construction? We can convert mark-ups, redlines, and field sketches from PDF into as build CAD drawings for your records or for future projects.
Architectural PDF Conversions
We can transform architectural PDF documents, such as floor plans, elevations, sections, site plans, etc. into dimensionally correct CAD files with layers, ready to be edited or repurposed into a new project.
Mechanical PDF to CAD Drafting
Mechanical layouts, details of equipment, or manufacturing drawings in PDF format can be re-drawn to CAD with precision to ensure assemblies, parts, and specifications remain correct.
Electrical PDF to CAD Conversion
We convert electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, panel schedules, and lighting layouts in PDF format into CAD with clearly annotated data and the correct library symbols, so you can easily include them in your MEP designs.
Structural PDF to CAD Drafting
Older structural drawings can be converted into CAD with accurate dimensions and detailing provided. We can convert beams, columns, foundations, reinforcement detailing, etc. to engineering standards.
Multi-Format Output
Whether you require DWG, DXF, DGN, or some other formats, our PDF configurations to CAD conversions services can adapt to match your preferred CAD environment and project requirements.

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. This guarantees the CAD files created will be what you thought you were getting in quality, formatting, and quantity.
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 directly into your workflows without any requirement to modify them in CAD.
