how can I convert pdf to dwg

You can't. PDF is a raster format. Jim "jay1210" wrote in message news:21850069.1107445452409.JavaMail.jive@jiveforum1.autodesk.com... > how can I convert pdf to dwg

Run GSView. Open the PDF. Go to Edit menu and pick Convert to vector format. Save DXF Open DXF in AutoCAD. If it is not a raster it will show up (might need to zoom extents). Note that the scale will be off, so if you have a dimension use SCALE reference to fix it. This will only work if the pdf was generated by a writer program and not scanned in. If the pdf was scanned your screwed.

1. Ask the file creator for a dxf/dwg or permission. 2. If your PDF is not of a scan, everything noted about works. If it is a scan, no chance. -- Dean Saadallah Add-on products for LT http://www.pendean.com/lt --

All was going smoothly, but then when I went to 'Convert to Vector' I got:
GSview 4.6 2004-01-11
Loading pstoedit
Can't load C:\Program Files\Ghostgum\pstoedit\pstoedit.dll
pstoedit is not available
See help topic 'PStoEdit'

I looked in the Ghostgum folder and there in no pstoedit folder at all!

I had a look at the web site and couldn't find anything on pstoedit, is it an add on file or should it load automatically with GSview?

You may use PDFin, the conversion tool that enables you import Vector type pdf files, get the software downloaded from: http://www.autodwg.com/download/PDF2DWG-SA.exe
Launch the software, browse the pdf file, select convert preference, and then you will get a editable DWG or DXF file in few minutes!

Autodwg can we inquire whether there might be more than one Layer created as
part of this process?

As free trial version does not save file(s) to disk, you may send a pdf file for the conversion for free.
Please note, the pdf file has to be vector, a scanned copy will not work.
Email it to: Kenny@autodwg.com
I will reply you with the converted dwg/dxf file.
Best regards,
Kenny

Toolpac 10 has a pdf converter (to dwg) that seems to work for scans, too.

Don Reichle, the PDFin does not create multi-layers. and most of the PDF file does not keep the layer information of the native drawing. So there is no way to import PDF file and create more layers. Please correct me if I was wrong. Thanks a lot.

I was just "checking", as after the process is complete all entities on one
Layer sounds to me like a great deal of "busy work" to achieve a Copy.

To each their own, as the saying goes.

or you can just use pstoedit along with gsview....and deal with all the
same necessary cleanup required.
