New Bundle of pdf2cad and Scan2CAD Addresses Need for Complete Tool Set
Visual Integrity has released a bundle of pdf2cad™, with Scan2CAD™ Pro from Softcover International Ltd. This combination of best-in-class vector-to-vector and raster-to-vector conversion tools delivers a complete solution for converting PDF file into editable CAD formats.
Knowing what type of PDF file you have, and using the correct tool is essential to achieving the best conversion. According to Jean Haney, co-founder of Visual Integrity, once you draw the distinction between the two types of PDF files – vector and raster – your work becomes a whole lot easier. Magnifying any PDF will quickly establish its type.
“Vector PDF files are defined mathematically and render on screen and in print as sharp, scalable objects and text. This can be clearly seen as sharp lines and text, when magnified. Vector PDF files can be converted into fully editable CAD objects with a high degree of accuracy using pdf2cad – a vector to vector conversion tool”, said Haney.
“On the other hand, raster PDF files, such as scanned technical drawings, are bitmaps. Because all intelligent mathematical data has been lost, the information is reduced to a flat image made up of hundreds of thousands of individual pixels. When you zoom in on a raster file, it looks jaggy. The only choice is to manually redraw the file or use a professional automatic raster to vector converter like Scan2CAD”, said Haney.
“Scan2CAD Pro and pdf2cad are ideal complementary products” said Steve Hannath, marketing director of Softcover International Ltd. “In this age of emailed PDF technical drawing files, it makes sense for us as a software solutions provider specializing in raster PDF file conversion to build a relationship with experts in PDF vector conversion. As an industry-leader in this field, Visual Integrity’s pdf2cad software gives Scan2CAD users an affordable professional ability to convert vector PDF files into editable DXF.”
The combination of these two software programs gives CAD users the best productivity tools available today for opening and converting standard raster and vector PDF files. Most importantly, our bundle offer makes these indispensable software tools very affordable.
