It seems like files that convert from true vector files actually work better in my host program….the ones that are converted from rasters don even open in the program…..why?
pdf2cad is designed to convert PDF files, generated as scalable files from an application, into editable CAD objects. Since scanned drawings have been flattened and reduced to bitmap images, we can not reassemble them into objects. We do however convert them into a tracing layer which is referenced in the DXF file and supported in programs such as AutoCAD. If you need to create a vector file from this file, you can use the tracing layer as a guide for redrawing the file or use a different class of software called raster-to-vector to try to generate objects. An example of this type of software is Scan2CAD. These are the files that either will not open or show up as blank files in your target software. In order to see or use the tracing layer, your target application must be able to open DXF files and display referenced images. Our conversion of a scanned PDF produces a blank DXF file and one or more image files in either the TIFF or JPEG format. They referenced images must be located in
