3.1 Vector Based Data Made from CAD Systems
Vector based PDF les are the real PDF data format. The native PDF entities such as
polylines, texts, native hatches are used. This kind of PDF le is created directly from
a CAD application without using a plotter interface. In other words, it is exported into
PDF, not “Printed To...” PDF. This kind of PDF is excellent for converting the data into
DXF and DWG. The coordinates are exact enough to be used for the purpose of CAD.
