FAQ PDF drawing analyzer
Common questions about our free online PDF drawing analyzer tool.
- Can PDF be converted to DWG?
- Not in-browser yet. PDF-to-CAD requires tracing or specialized desktop software.
- Are PDF files uploaded?
- PDF preview runs locally in your browser via pdf.js the file stays on your device unless you use Share.
- Can I measure on PDF?
- Measurement works on DWG/DXF geometry. For PDF-only submittals, switch to our CAD tools after obtaining DWG from the designer.
- Do I need AutoCAD installed?
- No. All tools run in your browser with WebAssembly CAD engines. Upload DWG or DXF and work immediately on Windows, Mac, Linux, or tablet.
- Is my drawing uploaded to your servers?
- By default, files parse locally in your browser. Upload only happens when you explicitly create a Share link or use cloud features.
- What is the free file size limit?
- Free accounts can open files up to 15MB. Starter ($8.8/mo) supports 50MB, Pro 100MB, and Team 200MB per drawing.
- Which DWG versions are supported?
- AutoCAD DWG R12 through 2024 and DXF (ASCII and binary). Most 2D shop drawings open cleanly.
- Can I use these tools on iPad or Android?
- Yes. The viewer and all tool pages work in modern mobile browsers — useful for field review with the measure tool.
