DXF to PDF

The DXF from the CAD package, as a PDF for the client, the printer or the council.

How to convert DXF to PDF

  1. Drop the .dxf file.
  2. Nothing to choose.
  3. Press Convert and download the PDF.

What happens to your file

LibreOffice Draw reads the DXF (text or binary, any AutoCAD release) and lays the drawing on a page at its own extents; the PDF keeps every line and text as vectors, so it prints sharp at any size.

Model space is what is drawn; paper-space layouts, plot styles and line weights from a CTB file are not read.

Questions

Is the scale kept?

The drawing is fitted to one page. For a plot at a set scale, use the CAD package’s own plot; this is for sharing and reading.

DWG?

Not here — DWG is a closed format. Save as DXF from AutoCAD (or any CAD tool) first.

Do it once, not on every form

Fixing a file here means downloading it and going back to the form. The Fylane extension does this work inside the form instead, on the file you already have.

And it keeps the result. The next application that asks for a résumé, a cover letter and a photo fills all three from one tap, each one refitted to what that site accepts.

Your files stay in the browser, encrypted, on your machine. Nothing is uploaded to keep them and nothing is sent anywhere to fill a form.

Filmed from the extension: three upload fields on a job application, filled from one tap.

Add to Chrome — freeWhat it does

Do this in code

curl -X POST https://api.fylane.dev/v1/jobs \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $FYLANE_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "file_id": "<file id>",
    "operation": "convert",
    "options": {
      "to": "pdf"
    }
  }'

The same operation, convert — Documents into another document format: Office, text and HTML to PDF by default, or by `to` into docx, odt, rtf, txt, html, xlsx, ods, csv, pptx, odp, md or epub (Markdown and EPUB through pandoc). Images to WebP. Upload first with the quickstart; every option is on the operations page. 500 free credits a month, then $5 per thousand.
