Features of Print2CAD 2012 Converter Software

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.
