Convert PDF to AutoCAD

Introducing Convert to AutoCAD

We have decided to roll out our new website Convert2AutoCAD.com. This is our primary portal, for this exciting new service, where we can take your as-built PDF and have our professional drafters redraw it in AutoCAD, and provide you with a layered, vector AutoCAD file.  This is extremely affordable, and gives you a AutoCAD file, so you can design.

AutoCAD is the design software of choice for the world. At Del Mar Blue, we have options to convert your plans to Autodesk CAD, in any year version needed.  Digital technology is constantly changing and you can count on Del Mar Blue to stay on top of the latest hardware and software technology. We can meet your demand for fast, high quality CAD plots in color or black & white. Talk with us to determine the best solution for your CAD plotting needs.  We can scan your paper plans and have them converted to your desired CAD version in just a matter of days. We are one of the only businesses in the San Diego area to offer this service.

We also offer paper to AutoCAD conversions.

This can save you time on remodels by having us convert it to a new DWG file so you can begin working on your remodel, without starting from scratch.  This can save you time and money by starting with a DWG file to work with instead of redrawing your work in Autocad.  The turnaround for conversion to DWG is about 3 days and is much cheaper than you think.  For a quote, call Brian at 858-755-5134, email him at bparker@delmarblue.com or fill out our contact form.

Do you own or manage a reprographics company or print shop?

You can offer this service to your customers for the same price we do.
With less companies ordering paper plans, this is a way for your customers to keep using your services. We can supply you with promotional POP material for these services, with your branding. The best part is, all you have to do is take in jobs, we do all the work. You can be making money by outsourcing the work to Convert2AutoCAD. This is ideal for general contractors, architects, interior designers, and structural engineers. We like to work with other reprographics companies. We outsource to other companies, and you should too. You can’t do everything in-house, and the more services and products you offer, the more money you will make. We are also a print shop, so we understand what is needed to stay profitable. Become a one-stop-shop by also offering AutoCAD services. Contact us about how we can work together.

Redline markup updates

We can take your redline changes, and update them on your page in AutoCAD. This makes it easy for you to mark your changes, and we will make the changes in CAD and provide you with a professionally designed new page. Take a red pen to your scans, or you can make them up with Adobe Acrobat. See the photos in the example below.

Standardization of drawings

We can take your CAD drawings and make them look uniform by standardizing them in the same pen settings, and can even add on your title block, and page numbers.

Enlarging and reducing scales

Often people want plans to match the scale across the whole set. We can enlarge, or reduce sheets to match any scale you need.

We also offer PDF hyperlinking

This can take your PDF files, and combine them into a set that links everything on the index sheet. PDF hyperlinking is perfect to share with business partners, and makes it easy to navigate. Here’s an example of a file with PDF hyperlinking.

We offer bulk conversion discounts

We have worked on many large projects, and can offer bulk discounts for jobs converting 8 sheets or more. This is especially valuable to municipalities, utility companies, government, housing projects, hospitals, and natural disasters such as fires, floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, and earthquakes. We have a large design team that can handle small and large conversion jobs. We have had customers require over 1000 sheets converted, and we sent them 100 conversions a month. This is much faster than most design offices can handle on their own.
