PDF-to-CAD recreation
Selected plans, details or sheets rebuilt as clean DWG linework.
Drawing conversion
Convert reference drawings into usable CAD information.
Craftify recreates PDF and image-based drawings as organized CAD files for AV, ESS, telecom and coordination workflows—using known dimensions, project standards and clearly documented assumptions.
Why Craftify
Editable drawings prepared for continued project use.
Flattened PDFs and scanned drawings are difficult to revise, coordinate and reuse. We rebuild the required information as structured CAD geometry instead of delivering an unorganized automated conversion.
Where reliable dimensions or a stated scale are available, the drawing is established accordingly. Text, linework, hatches, layers and reusable objects are organized around the agreed standard. Unclear source information is identified so it can be confirmed before it affects downstream documentation.
The result is intended to support real drafting work—such as adding AV layouts, creating enlarged details, updating legacy records or preparing backgrounds for a new project phase.
Editable outputUse the converted drawing as a practical CAD working file.
Organized geometryLayers and objects structured for review and continued drafting.
Defined accuracyScale and assumptions based on the quality of available source information.
Typical deliverables
What we can produce.
The exact drawing and model package is defined around your standards, project stage and approved technical inputs.
Image-to-CAD tracing
Raster references converted using confirmed dimensions or scale information.
Drawing cleanup
Legacy CAD files organized by removing duplication and improving layer consistency.
Text and annotation
Readable text, dimensions, leaders and notes recreated where required.
Blocks and layers
Repeated elements organized into practical blocks and logical layers.
QA comparison
Converted output checked against the supplied reference and known measurements.
Working method
A controlled four-step workflow.
Assess
We review source quality, required sheets, known dimensions, scale and intended use.
Set standards
We confirm units, layers, lineweights, text styles, blocks and output requirements.
Recreate
We rebuild the selected content and identify unreadable or conflicting source information.
Compare
We check the output against the reference and apply consolidated review comments.

Frequently asked questions
Before we start.
Is PDF-to-CAD conversion fully automatic?
For dependable project use, the important content normally needs review and structured recreation. Automatic conversion alone often produces fragmented text, duplicate linework and unusable layers.
How accurate will the converted drawing be?
Accuracy depends on source quality and reliable scale or dimensions. We confirm the intended tolerance and flag unclear information rather than presenting uncertain geometry as verified.
Can you convert only selected areas or sheets?
Yes. Defining the exact plans, details or regions required is often the most efficient approach.
Can you follow our CAD layering standard?
Yes. If you provide the required layers, text styles, blocks and plot conventions, we can organize the converted drawing accordingly.
