From PDF to DWFx, ready for submission.
Open the PDF you exported from your CAD software, check the scale of each page, and get a DWFx file with layers, scale and hatches intact.
Same paper size
Every PDF page becomes one DWFx sheet of exactly the same size.
Layers kept
Switch PDF layers on and off in Autodesk Design Review.
Real-world scale
Sheets measure in metres, so the measure tool gives real distances.
Hatches and text
Hatches, fills and text stay as precise as in the PDF.
One PDF page in. One DWFx sheet out, with everything inside.
Hatches, layers and scale travel together, so the sheet you submit is the sheet you drew.
Fully offline. Your drawings never leave your computer.
No internet connection, no uploads, no telemetry. If the app fails, it saves a report on your computer and you decide whether to share it.
Portuguese municipalities review architecture projects as DWF drawings, but most of us work in software that exports good PDFs. pdf2dwfx was made by an architect to close that gap: free, open source and fully local, so no drawing has to pass through an online converter.
