PDF to CAD Conversion

Yes — output is proper vector CAD data with layers, line weights and text as native entities, not a raster trace, so it behaves exactly like a drawing your team created from scratch.

Yes, both vector PDFs and scanned/raster PDFs can be converted, though vector sources generally convert with higher fidelity since less has to be reconstructed from a bitmap image.

Yes, if you supply a layer standard or template we'll convert to match it, rather than delivering a generic structure that needs reformatting afterward.

We check dimension values against the visible geometry during conversion and flag any inconsistency we find, rather than silently reproducing an error from the source drawing.

We flag it explicitly on the converted drawing rather than guessing at a value and presenting the guess as if it were confirmed, so you know exactly which values to independently verify.

We run a final consistency pass across the whole batch, checking that recurring elements — wall types, hatch patterns, symbol conventions — were converted the same way on every sheet rather than drifting between individually converted drawings.

Yes, we can either preserve the original sheet layout or split combined drawings into separate files during conversion, whichever better suits how your team intends to use the converted files.

Yes, colour coding present in the source PDF is preserved as distinct layers or colours in the converted file, rather than collapsed into a single generic layer that loses that information.

Yes, where a converted drawing needs to feed directly into a CNC or laser cutting workflow, we confirm the specific output requirements (closed profiles, correct units, appropriate layer separation) needed for that downstream process.

For a good-quality vector PDF, converted geometry is generally very close to the original; for a lower-quality scan, accuracy depends on scan resolution, and we flag where confidence is lower rather than presenting uniform accuracy across the whole file.

Yes, side-by-side comparison between the original PDF and the converted CAD file can be provided on request, which is a useful sense-check before a larger batch conversion is committed to.

Yes, we can convert the drawing content and apply your own title block and sheet formatting, rather than reproducing the original source's title block.

Yes, we reproduce text as accurately as the source allows, flagging any characters or fonts that can't be confirmed with full confidence rather than substituting a best guess silently.

Yes, where a converted 2D drawing is intended to be traced or referenced within a Revit or ArchiCAD model, we can prepare the output specifically for that import workflow.

There's no strict minimum — single-drawing conversions are common, alongside much larger batch projects, and both are quoted according to actual complexity and volume.

Yes, where at least one known real-world dimension is available (a stated dimension, a standard door width, a supplied reference), we can establish the correct scale during conversion rather than guessing.

Yes, revision clouds and markup annotations are reproduced faithfully as part of the conversion, since these often carry meaningful information about what changed in the drawing's history.

Yes, we can either preserve the combined file structure or split it into separate discipline-specific files during conversion, depending on how your team intends to use the output.

We can discuss converting a small sample drawing early in the process so you can review the quality and format before committing to a full batch, particularly useful on larger digitisation projects.

Yes, conversion works from the PDF's visible content rather than requiring knowledge of the original authoring software, so the source CAD platform doesn't affect our ability to convert it.

Yes, we always confirm scope, output format and price before starting, so there are no surprises once the converted files are delivered.

Yes, tables and schedules embedded in a PDF are reproduced as native, editable table or schedule data rather than static text, so they can be updated the same way any other CAD schedule would be.

Yes, we correct for known scanning or printing distortion during conversion where it's identifiable, calibrating against a known reference dimension so the converted file is dimensionally accurate rather than reproducing the distortion.

Yes, hatch patterns are reproduced as native, editable hatch objects matched as closely as possible to the original pattern, rather than flattened into a static image fill.

Yes, where several revision PDFs exist for the same drawing, we can consolidate them into a single accurate current-state file, confirming with you which revision should be treated as authoritative where they conflict.
