PDF to CAD

PDF to CAD Conversion Services

Scanned plans, PDFs and old blueprints, redrawn by CAD technicians as accurate, layered DWG files you can edit straight away, not auto-traced noise.

Turn Locked Drawings Into Working Files

Renovation, extension and redevelopment projects almost always begin with drawings nobody can edit: a PDF from another consultant, a scanned set from the building department, a folded blueprint from the 1980s. Redrawing them in-house is tedious and slow, and the automated converters that promise one-click results deliver fragmented lines, text broken into strokes and no usable layers. You lose more time cleaning the output than you saved.

Our PDF to CAD conversion services do the job properly. Experienced CAD technicians redraw every sheet over the source image, set the correct scale, and rebuild walls, lines, text, dimensions and symbols as clean native objects on logical layers. You get a DWG your team can build on immediately, and an accurate base for design, permitting or facility management.

What We Deliver

Architectural Plans to CAD

Floor plans, elevations and sections from PDFs and scans, ready for renovation and fit-out design.

Survey and Plat Conversion

Recorded plats, old surveys and deeds sketches redrawn with bearings, distances, curve data and text.

Civil and Utility Drawings

As-built utility plans, site plans and road drawings converted into layered CAD bases.

Raster and Sketch to Vector

TIFF, JPG, scanned maps and hand sketches vectorised manually, with optional georeferencing for GIS use.

Point Cloud to CAD Services

Laser scan, LiDAR and drone point clouds turned into 2D plans, elevations, sections and topographic linework in AutoCAD, Civil 3D or Revit.

Batch and Archive Conversion

Drawing archives converted with consistent layers, naming and title blocks across hundreds of sheets.

Software We Use

Conversions are drafted natively in AutoCAD, or in Revit, Civil 3D or MicroStation when the converted drawing feeds into one of those workflows. You receive DWG by default, or DXF, DGN or RVT on request.

Manual Redrawing vs Auto-Conversion

Here is what you get from a manual conversion that you will not get from software:

  • True lines, arcs and polylines instead of thousands of fragments
  • Editable text and dimensions, not exploded strokes
  • Layers, blocks and hatches organised to your standard
  • Correct scale verified against written dimensions
  • Illegible or conflicting dimensions flagged for you
Process

Our PDF to CAD Conversion Process

1

Upload source files

PDF, TIFF, JPG or scans, plus your template if you have one.

2

Review and quote

We check legibility and scale references and give a fixed price per sheet.

3

Redraw to scale

Technicians rebuild geometry, text and dimensions on clean layers.

4

Overlay QA

The new DWG is overlaid on the source to check alignment before delivery.

Turnaround and Quotes

Single sheets and small sets are usually converted overnight. Batch and archive work is scheduled after a pilot sheet is approved, with regular deliveries during the project. Conversion is priced per sheet, based on drawing size, density and source quality, and quoted before any work starts.

FAQ

PDF to CAD Conversion FAQ

Not for the final drawing. Automatic converters produce broken lines, exploded text and no layers. Our CAD technicians redraw each sheet manually over the PDF, using dimensions and scale to rebuild clean, editable geometry. For vector PDFs we may extract geometry as a starting point, then clean and rebuild it by hand.

We set the scale from written dimensions or a known reference, then draft to the dimensions shown on the drawing rather than to the image, which may be distorted by scanning. Where dimensions conflict or are illegible, we flag them for you instead of guessing.

Yes. Every conversion is layered to your standard (or a clean default), with editable text, dimensions, hatches and blocks for repeated elements such as doors, fixtures or symbols.

Yes. We import laser scan, LiDAR and drone point clouds (RCP, RCS, LAS, E57) through Autodesk ReCap and draft floor plans, elevations, sections or topographic linework from them in AutoCAD, Civil 3D or Revit.

Yes. For archive and backlog projects we agree on a layer and naming standard, complete a pilot set for your approval, then process the batch with consistent QA.
