PDF to . DWG save as fail

Postby joachimsverd » Thu Oct 13, 2016 7:47 pm

Hi, I seem to have some problems with converting pdf documents to .dwg files.

Some times it works and then, for seemingly no apparent reason it just doesn't.
pdf files just get saved as 5kb files with no information in them. Does anyone know why this happens?
Also I find that a lot of information, like text does not get exported no matter what settings I tick off in the preference menu.

Hi Joachim,

if you could append a file (or several) that works, and a file (or more) that do not work, we might be able to figure out.
Something doesn't work? - Keeping an eye on the status bar can save you a lot of time!

Hello
I also request if You could provide some test files

And, As far as i Know, Inkscape can't export to dwg files but to DXF... maybe there is the mistake.
If you have problems:
1.- Post a sample (or samples) of your file please.
2.- Please check here:

3.- If you manage to solve your problem, please post here your solution.
