About

PDF

Geospatial PDF is a PDF file format containing georeference information, following the geographic extensions of ISO 32000. Geospatial PDF not only contains visual map content but also embeds coordinate reference system information, allowing distance measurement, coordinate display, and spatial queries in Adobe Acrobat and other readers. This format is commonly used for map publishing and offline map distribution.

DXF

DXF (Drawing Exchange Format) is a CAD data exchange format developed by Autodesk, the native interchange format for AutoCAD. DXF stores vector graphic data in text format, including points, lines, polygons, text annotations, and layer information. In GIS, DXF is commonly used for data exchange with CAD systems, and many survey and engineering data are provided in DXF format.

Conversion trade-offs

PDF: limitations to know

  • Primarily for display, not suitable for data editing and analysis
  • Limited vector feature extraction capability

DXF: what you gain

  • Supported by virtually all CAD software and many GIS applications
  • Suitable for exchanging data with engineering surveys

Why convert PDF to DXF?

Converting PDF to DXF is one of the most common workflows in GIS. PDF data usually comes from desktop GIS software, government open-data portals, or data exchange with partners, while DXF is what modern tools, web maps, and platforms expect. This converter bridges the two: it reads your PDF files, keeps geometry and attributes intact, and writes clean DXF output — entirely in your browser, so your data never leaves your device.

Frequently asked questions

Are my files uploaded to a server?

No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser using WebAssembly — your files never leave your device.

Is the PDF to DXF converter free?

Yes, completely free with no sign-up and no usage limits.

Are coordinate systems preserved when converting PDF to DXF?

By default the output keeps the source coordinate system. If your PDF file uses a projected CRS (like UTM), you can search any EPSG coordinate system by keyword or code and reproject in one step. Note: output formats that require WGS84 by specification (KML, KMZ, GPX) always reproject to WGS84 automatically.

Can I convert multiple files at once?

Yes — drop several PDF files at once and each one produces its own DXF output.
