Print2CAD 2012 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 2012 is an autonomous and CAD system-independent program. Print2CAD 2012 also converts DWG/DXF into PDF, TIFF/JPEG into DWG, DWF into DWG/DXF and HPGL into DWG/DXF.

Print2CAD 2012 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 texts that have been deconstructed into polyline fields, and/or pixel pictures as full and editable CAD texts.

Print2CAD 2012 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 2012 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 - 2012 or DXF version 12, 2000-2012. 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 texts. PDF properties such as line widths and line types are also converted into CAD properties. Print2CAD converts PDF colors into CAD indexed colors or full RGB colors. Print2CAD also supports TTF fonts. With multi-page PDF documents, you can specify which pages to be converted.
