Corel Draw seems to retain the dims OK, so far for me at least.
Try posting a pdf here if not too big.

Ok, I have a simple question about converting a pdf to dxf. When I convert a pdf in adobe illustrator to a dxf file then open it up into autocad the measurements are all wrong. What I am trying to do is take some plans in pdf form of a flat foam rc plane and convert to dxf to cut on my router. The plans were posted free on the net for us to download and print out and cut by hand. I can convert them in a tile form to print out on a standerd printer. Does someone know of a way to output the file from pdf to dxf without loosing its dims?
Thanks Steve

On its way..
Strange, I can open them with Adobe reader, but Corel give a file corrupted message.

Don't be the one that stands in the way of your success!
Aide PDF to DXF converter works well. There is a similar prodice put out by AnyDWG also that converts from PDF to DWG. Neither are free unfortunately.
If you cut it to small you can always nail another piece on the end, but if you cut it to big... then what the hell you gonna do?

Measure a known distance in AutoCAD and find out how much it's off, then select everything and scale it to the correct size.

Hey guys.
I got to looking at the files again closely. The files were made very small for us to have blown up at a copy shop.

What did you finally figure out about this problem PDF to DXF? If so what is the solution and where can i get it resonably? Thanks Brady
You can also use pstoedit

I tried it the other day myself and found that thigs came in scaled wrong. I wasnt going from pdf but directly from ai to dxf. Same sort of process though
If you figure it out let me know and if I do I will be sure to post.
