PDF is a widely versatile file format, and one often used when sharing CAD drawings. However, the amount of information in a PDF file is far less than that of a DWG file, which contains the necessary data for design.
ARES CAD software can convert DWG drawings to PDF format, and naturally, it can also convert PDF to DWG with a single command – no need to install a separate PDF printer driver. ARES can also convert a PDF file that was originally converted from a DWG file back into a DWG file.
In this article, we explain how to convert PDF files to DWG files using ARES Commander, the world’s No. 1 AutoCAD alternative, as well as ARES Kudo and ARES Touch.
An advantage of ARES is that you can convert files with a single command, without having to install a separate PDF printer driver. To convert a PDF CAD drawing to DWG in ARES, use the IMPORTPDF command. Of course, you can also export the drawing and save it again in PDF format. For more details, please watch this video.

The ARES Trinity of CAD software comprises three distinct, yet interconnected, software applications: ARES Commander (desktop), ARES Touch (mobile), and ARES Kudo (cloud). All of them are equipped with 2D CAD features, allowing you to freely edit drawings by converting PDF files to DWG files. Watch this video to see the process of converting PDF to DWG with ARES Touch.
For a demonstration of converting PDF to DWG with ARES Kudo, watch the video “Convert PDF to DWG Online.”
What if you have many PDFs to convert to editable DWG files? That could be time-consuming to complete manually. Thanks to ARES Kudo, you can use Online Drawings Automation to convert your PDFs automatically.
With this powerful service, users can schedule many tasks — including batch file conversion — to be handled in the cloud. To see how simple this hands-off process is, watch the video:
Can I convert PDF drawings to DWG for free with ARES?
ARES offers a 30-day free trial. During this trial period, you can convert to DWG for free. The 30-day free trial is available here.
Can I convert PDF drawings to DWG online with ARES?
The online version of ARES CAD software, called ARES Kudo, can be used in the cloud. ARES Kudo can not only convert PDF drawings to DWG, but can also edit DWG drawings online.
What is the difference between ARES DWG conversion and a free converter?
The biggest difference is likely the security issue. ARES is not merely a conversion app; it is a general-purpose CAD application and the No. 1 alternative to AutoCAD, and it has been adopted by world-renowned global companies. ARES provides robust security compared to free converters – it can be used with confidence in a secure environment.
