Create PDF files with our easy-to-use and free tool. Our tool lets you upload a DXF (Drawing Exchange Format) file and convert this file to a PDF (Portable Document Format) file that you can then download and edit or use within your applications.
To get started, click the Upload button above and select the DXF file you wish to convert. You may select up to 25 files at a time, and our DXF to PDF tool will batch convert them in a single operation.

The DXF file format was first introduced in 1982 as part of Autodesk's AutoCAD software. DXF files were intended at the time to allow data interchange between AutoCAD and other CAD-related applications. The format has evolved over the years, with the most recent version coming in 2007.
DXF files can contain either text or binary content describing blocks, entities, objects, and other information using a "tagging" system. The DXF format is still popular today and can be opened with most popular CAD applications.
When imported, DXF files will be converted to 3D geometry comprising vertices and faces using the Extrude method. The extrusion value can be set before the conversion starts. If the DXF file contains color information, this will be included where possible.

The PDF format is a widely used document format containing text, images, and other 2D content in a read-only format. The format was introduced in 1992 by Adobe as a royalty-free format and is largely based on the earlier PostScript file format, with some of its scripting features later removed.
PDF files can contain rasterized images and vector graphics, which can optionally be compressed and encrypted for successful transmission. The format has evolved over the years to include features such as layers, metadata, accessibility features, and interactive forms.
First click the "Upload..." button, select your DXF file to upload. Select any configuration options. When the DXF to PDF conversion has completed, you can download your PDF file straight away.
We aim to process all DXF to PDF conversions as quickly as possible, this usually takes around 5 seconds but can be more for larger more complex files so please be patient.
We aim to create the most accurate conversions with our tools. Our tools are under constant development with new features and improvements being added every week.
Yes, of course! We do not store the DXF file you submit to us. The resulting PDF file, once created is deleted 20 minutes after upload and the download link will expire after this time.
No. All our conversion tools process your DXF file on our dedicated conversion servers, meaning you can use our tools on low-spec computers, laptops, tablets, and mobile devices and receive your converted PDF file quickly.
Yes! Our DXF to PDF tool will run on any system with a modern web browser. No specialist software is needed to run any of our conversion tools.
Yes. Although you can use an Ad Blocker, if you like our DXF conversion tool please consider white-listing our site. When an Ad Blocker is enabled there are some conversion limits on some of our tools and processing/conversion times will be longer.
Yes. When you have converted your DXF to PDF, there is a "Feedback" option that you can use to let us know of any issues you encountered when converting your file.
