Is the PDF to CAD converter free to use in the UAE?

Yes. You can convert a vector PDF drawing to an editable DWG or DXF in your browser with no Autodesk licence, no account and nothing to install. Paid Aginera plans add automated MEP takeoff and estimating on top of the same drawings.

Do you offer MEP takeoff services for UAE projects?

Aginera automates the takeoff itself — upload a plan set and the AI extracts devices, conduit, cable, ducting and fixtures, so you get a quantity takeoff without outsourcing it sheet by sheet. For contractors and consultants who currently buy MEP takeoff as a service, this replaces the turnaround wait with a self-serve tool you run in minutes, with every line referenced back to the drawing.

Does it fit DEWA and FIDIC-style BOQ workflows?

The converter gives you editable CAD geometry; the takeoff produces metric quantities you group into a FIDIC-style Bill of Quantities and price in AED. It is built around how Gulf MEP drawings are drawn and scheduled, and references the conventions UAE contractors work to (DEWA for electrical, Dubai Municipality for building compliance).

What is a vector PDF, and why does it matter?

A vector PDF is a drawing exported directly from CAD or BIM software. Its lines, arcs and text are true geometry, so they can be turned back into editable CAD. A scanned drawing or a photo saved as a PDF is a raster image — just pixels — with no geometry to convert. Aginera automatically checks your PDF and tells you if it is not vector.

What CAD formats can I download?

You can download an editable DWG or DXF and open it in AutoCAD, BricsCAD, ZWCAD, LibreCAD, DraftSight or any CAD application. No Autodesk subscription is required to use the file.

Convert PDF to CAD

No vector PDF handy? — a real 4-sheet HVAC plan set.

Free PDF to CAD converter for UAE drawings

Converting a PDF to CAD means turning a vector PDF drawing back into an editable CAD file (DWG or DXF) you can open in any CAD application. Aginera traces the vector line-work in your browser into real CAD geometry — with no Autodesk software, licence, or account, and nothing to install.

Traces real line-work

Walls, dimensions, symbols and text are rebuilt as CAD geometry you can select and edit — not flattened into a raster underlay.

Opens in any CAD app

The DWG/DXF you download opens in AutoCAD, BricsCAD, ZWCAD, LibreCAD or any other CAD application.

Runs in your browser

Upload, preview with pan, zoom and layer toggles, and download — no software to install and no signup.

Beyond conversion: automated MEP takeoff, in-house

Most UAE contractors converting drawings to CAD are heading toward a quantity takeoff or a BOQ. Instead of sending sheets out for MEP takeoff services and waiting for the turnaround, Aginera reads the same drawings and extracts devices, conduit, cable, ducting and fixtures automatically — metric quantities you price in AED, with every line referenced back to the sheet it came from. See MEP takeoff software, electrical takeoff software, or the free Floor Plan to 3D converter.
