Death to the Engineer
Death to the Engineer
(OP)
Another day in Paradise. I had an engineer hand me a PDF, and asked if I could make a 3D model of it. To my knowledge, there is no way to do this...or is there. I'm on NX8.5 and was wondering if there is a way to convert a PDF to a 3D model or at least convert it to a .dwg/.dxf. Keep in mind that our I.T. dept. is cheap, and won't pay for a PDF convert, or is there a batch file that I could run from the command line that would do this?

http://vimeo.com/83654051 is the link to one of our videos that shows how to convert an image to vector.
Inkscape can read PDF files so it might work for you.

It is a service that you have used and liked, and it is an answer to the question at hand; I see no reason that it would be an "illegal" post.
Now if it turns out that you work for them and you are spamming the link all over the forum... That's a different story! I've seen a few of those people "dismissed" from the site.
