What happens when you convert DWG to PDF?

CAD model-space export

Supported model-space geometry exports as vector SVG or vector PDF; PNG is a fixed-resolution render. The page fits the drawing bounds and does not preserve a physical plot scale or editable CAD semantics. Available document properties use supported metadata writers. Paper layouts, fonts, proxy objects and visual styles may differ.

CAD fidelity limits

Original CAD fonts may be unavailable. Text can use substitute glyphs; SHX execution is disabled. Missing glyphs can be omitted in PNG/PDF.

Is DWG → PDF right for you?

Good choice when

  • PDF fits your delivery use: Fixed-layout documents & print.
  • You inspect the preview and warnings.
  • You review missing objects and fonts.
  • You can validate the destination’s sample precision and colour interpretation.

Probably not when

  • You need complete CAD editing or plotting fidelity.
  • You rely on pixel-perfect CAD fidelity.
  • You require identical samples without a defined colour and precision policy.

CAD model-space export
Supported model-space geometry exports as vector SVG or vector PDF; PNG is a fixed-resolution render. The page fits the drawing bounds and does not preserve a physical plot scale or editable CAD semantics. Available document properties use supported metadata writers. Paper layouts, fonts, proxy objects and visual styles may differ.
CAD fidelity limits

Sample precision & colour

Paper layouts, fonts, proxy objects and visual styles may differ.
Compression
DWG: Not a pixel codec → PDF: Depends on variant DWG: CAD source only · SVG / PNG / PDF PDF: PDF has no single compression quality. Different streams may use lossless or lossy filters; page rasterization can remove document structure even when the resulting pixels are encoded losslessly.
