Editor's review
Converter of PDF documents to CAD, DXF, Jpeg, Tiff, BMP, EPS and other picture formats in batches and individually. Pictures can be extracted from the PDF page as a picture and remarks/annotations added.
Pros: Need for CAD collaboration is increasing and not all collaborators can afford to have a full-fledged CAD system with them. Particularly when they do not need anything more than viewing capability of the CAD drawings in DXF format. Sometimes such partners may look at PDFs only and may be mark them up. Then the main vendor will need to convert these documents back into CAD formats. This package helps do that. The application provides the means to convert the PDFs to images in some standard formats too. The formats supported include JPG, BMP, PNG, TIFF and GIF etc. Various annotations that actually help in mark-up in terms of markers, lines, rectangle etc can be created. Crop function helps pick out specific parts of the document to highlight an issue. This can be done individually or in a batch. In individual processing pictures extracted, parts be taken from the PDF page (as a picture) and text annotations can be created. Pictures can get page by page or as a whole taken and saved from the PDF document. Picture preview helps the choice of the pictures to be extracted. A PDF Viewer is integrated. At the conversion in these can be selected individual processing to converting pages. In batch processing gets between everyone and a certain page is chosen. Windows explorer like file browsing helps with selecting appropriate files/folders. Appropriate tools are available in the interface.
Cons: No particular problems noticed.
Overall: The application has nice features and is quite easy to use. This is rated at a very good level of 3 stars.
