I need freeware Mac converting PDF to dwg file tool

Asked By Johnny Thompson 0 points N/A Posted on - 02/11/2013

I have a pdf file that I need to convert to dwg file so I could import it to an AUTOCAD program.  I need a software for my MAC with OSx Mountain Lion that could retain the formatting and images.  Is there a freeware tool in Mac converting pdf to dwg files?

Hi Johnny,

 

You can convert your PDF to DWG directly in AutoCAD, choosing the option Insert>OLE object. Select Create new and choose Adobe Acrobat Document from the list. Once your PDF is inserted you can use it normally. 

 

If you are looking for a complete conversion, you will need a third party software to do that. I'd recommend you to use PDF to DWG converter plugin for AutoCAD or some of the available online services like http://www.convertpdftoautocad.com.
