You can use either an online tool or a desktop PDF converter to convert PDF to DWG. The main differences between the two are in the functionalities offered and the output quality.
You should use an online tool to convert your PDFs to DWG if you need quick and easy conversion on any PC or mobile device for free.
The main drawback of online tools is their simplicity (not great for converting complex drawings, no advanced features) and that they require an internet connection to work.
You should go for a desktop PDF to DWG converter if your work requires you to regularly convert complex PDFs to DWG and DXF formats. Desktop tools are usually equipped with advanced features and raster-to-vector (R2V) conversion engines.
Able2Extract Professional is a prime example of a powerful PDF to DWG converter for Windows, macOS, and Linux. It offers advanced features such as Batch PDF to DWG conversion, high-fidelity OCR engine for scanned PDFs, conversion to multiple file layers, and much more.

Note that Able2Extract Professional allows you to convert to two CAD formats: Drawing Format (DWG) and Drawing Exchange Format (DXF).
After the conversion is complete, you can open and edit your converted file in the CAD program of your choice.
How to convert scanned (image) PDF to DWG?Powerful Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology is required to perform accurate conversions of scanned PDF files. Some online, and most offline tools come with a built-in OCR engine.
If you have a quality scan with clear formatting and layout, our free online PDF to DWG converter with OCR will provide accurate conversion output.
For poor quality scans that contain complex drawings, we recommend that you use Able2Extract Professional - an industry-leading PDF to AutoCAD converter that is equipped with a business-grade OCR engine for perfect Raster-to-Vector (R2V) extraction.
How to batch convert PDF to DWG (and DXF)?Performing batch PDF to DWG conversion is not an easy task, as it requires high performance computing. That’s why most online tools allow you to convert your PDFs one at a time.
If you need to convert a large volume of PDFs to DWG on a regular basis, you’re better off with a desktop PDF converter software.
Instead of converting one document at a time, you can use Able2Extract Professional to automate the conversion process by adding hundreds of PDFs to the conversion queue. This way you can batch convert whole folders of PDF files to DWG/DXF at once with speed and accuracy.
How to convert only certain parts of PDF to DWG?Free online converters are not capable of selective PDF data conversions, you can only convert an entire PDF file.
On the other hand, professional, desktop PDF conversion software like Able2Extract Professional allows you to select and convert an entire document, a page range, specific pages, or even a single drawing.
The process is rather simple: 1) Open your PDF in Able2Extract Professional, 2) Draw-select the specific part you want to extract, 3) Convert to DWG or DXF.
