Handling of Text:

In PDF or DWF files, text is usually defined as separate characters or groups of characters with their own insertion points. With the help of special internal methods, Print2CAD merges characters into strings and places these strings as texts in the DWG or DXF drawing.

If the PDF, HPGL, DWF or TIFF /JPEG file contains text which are exploded into lines, polylines, hatches or raster pictures you can use internal OCR (Optical Character Recognition) methods to convert these types of "text" into real and native text.

Handling of Lines, Circles, and Arcs:

Normal well created PDF files contain lines, hatches, circles, and arcs as PDF element path or PDF element Bézier curve. Circles or arcs do not exist in PDF definition, they are Bézier curves or polylines. A human has the capability and intelligence to recognize circles and arcs, however for a software to have this same type of recognition takes a lot more effort. Print2CAD 2013 with OCR provides advanced methods for circle and arc recognition.

Vectorization, OCR, Pattern Recognition, and Calibration:

Print2CAD OCR 2013 converts and vectorizes raster pictures from PDF, HPGL, DWF, TIFF, and JPEG files. The input files can be done using a scanner or generating directly from CAD sytems in different quality levels.

With the help of Raster to Vector Methods Print2CAD 2013 with OCR can recognize all circles, arcs, and lines.

With the help of OCR (Optical Character Recognition) Print2CAD 2013 with OCR can recognize Texts.

With the help of Pattern Recognition Print2CAD 2013 with OCR can recognize dash or dash dotted line types.

With the help of coordinates calibration Print2CAD 2013 with OCR can correct the accuracy of the converted drawing.

Print2CAD 2013 Short Description

Print2CAD 2013 with OCR is able to convert PDF files into a DWG or DXF file, which can then be imported into any CAD system where it can be edited. Print2CAD 2013 with OCR is an autonomous and CAD system-independent program. Print2CAD 2013 with OCR also converts DWG/DXF into PDF, TIFF/JPEG into DWG, DWF into DWG/DXF and HPGL into DWG/DXF.

Print2CAD 2013 with OCR not only uses conversion and vectorization methods, but also uses OCR (Optical Character Recognition) to reconstruct the content of a PDF or raster file. The program can also recognize the PDF text that have been deconstructed into polyline fields, and/or pixel pictures as full and editable CAD text.

Print2CAD 2013 with OCR recognizes the dashed or chain dotted linetypes, and will connect them to form a proper CAD line and/or polyline with a linetype. The lines may have any angle of inclination.

Print2CAD 2013 with OCR can precisely adjust, de-skew, and turn the converted drawing with the help of any number of arbitrary calibration points. You can be certain that a 30 cm-thick wall will be 30 cm thick again after the conversion and not 29.987 cm, and that a horizontal line will keep running horizontally after the conversion.

Print2CAD converts files into DWG version 14, 2000 - 2013 or DXF version 12, 2000-2013. All vectors, lines, circles, arcs, surfaces, splines, text, and pixel images are transferred into DWG or DXF. The pixel images can be converted into vectors, embedded or stored in separate files. Special functions generate circles and arcs. PDF layer structure is supported, or if not available, this can be created on the basis of color or line widths. PDF characters are put together to create new text. PDF properties such as line widths and line types are also converted into CAD properties. Print2CAD converts PDF colors into CAD index of colors or full RGB colors. Print2CAD also supports TTF fonts. With multi-page PDF documents, you can specify which pages to convert.
