Before you start
- A4, turned to fit rotates a wide drawing to use the whole sheet.
- All black prints crisply on an office printer; keep the drawing's colors for screens.

How to do it
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.
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.
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, solid and patterned hatches, points, single-line and multi-line text, block references with their scale and rotation, dimensions, layer colors, dashed and center line types and line weights. Frozen and hidden layers stay hidden. Images and 3D surfaces aren't drawn yet — the result tells you when a drawing contains them.
- 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.
