convert pdf to dwg
(OP)
I have alot of old 2D drawings on paper, which I am in the process of scanning & saving as pdf files. Is there any way to convert these scanned pdfs to dwg format? I have tried AutoDWG but it only works for original pdf files not scanned pdfs. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thank you
Thank you

You can copy stuff out of the pdf and paste it into an AutoCAD drawing as an object. You can't edit it, but then again, editing a scanned hand drawing is going to be a mess anyway.

If you have Adobe Acrobat (Writer) You can save the PDF to Tiff, then insert the Raster (Tiff) into an AutoCad drawing.
If you have a software like CadOverlay you can edit the raster image inside of AutoCad. This will allow you to maintain your existing drawings, but can become combersome because you are working with two files (Tiff and DWG). You can also vectorize the Raster in some software.
There are companies out there who will convert rasters files to AutoCad. We've had some drawings converted here at a cost of approximately $200.00 per E-size drawing.
Good Luck!
