FAQs

Do I need CAD software or CAD skills to extract parts?

No, the PDF to CAD Part Extractor is designed for quoting teams and does not require CAD software or CAD experience to use.

Can I extract multiple parts or PDFs at once?

Yes, the tool can identify multiple parts in a single PDF and process multiple PDF files in one session.

What types of PDFs does the extractor work with?

The extractor works with vector-based PDFs that contain embedded geometry (raster PDFs are not supported).

How accurate are the extracted parts?

The extracted geometry is high enough accuracy for quoting, but PDFs are not intended to produce production-ready CAD files.

Can I control how lines and features are treated?

Yes, you can ignore unnecessary lines, assign line types such as cutting, folding, or etching, scale parts, and define material, thickness, and quantity during extraction.
