How to do it

  1. Add your file

    Add the drawing as a DXF file. In AutoCAD, use Save As and choose a DXF format; LibreCAD, DraftSight, FreeCAD, SketchUp and Fusion export DXF too.

  2. Set it up the way you want

    Pick the paper size — or leave it on automatic — and choose the drawing's own colors or all black for printing.

  3. Download the result

    Download the PDF. The drawing is fitted to the page as vectors, so it stays sharp at any zoom.

Questions about DXF to PDF

Can I convert a DWG file?
Not directly. Save it as DXF first — every CAD program can, including AutoCAD (Save As → DXF), and the free DWG TrueView from Autodesk converts DWG to DXF.
What is kept?
Lines, polylines with arcs, circles, arcs, ellipses, splines, filled solids, points, single-line and multi-line text, block references with their scale and rotation, dimensions and layer colors. Frozen and hidden layers stay hidden. Hatch fills, images and 3D surfaces aren't drawn yet — the result tells you when a drawing had any.
Is the PDF to scale?
It is fitted to the page, not printed at a set scale, so measurements on paper won't match a ruler. The proportions and every dimension label are exact.
