### 1/5 — Não há possibilidade de teste!

*2020-03-30*

Logo que escolhe o arquivo e solicita a conversão é aberta uma janela para compra de outras versões.
Desapontado.

### 5/5 — Real vector to vector conversion, preserves text

*2020-01-15*

The app is very good. It preseves vector data and text. Most other pdf to dwg converters just draw outlines around pdf objects, which is not accurate or useful.

### 1/5 — Can't do anything for free

*2019-11-30*

I just want to convert one pdf file. Can't do it for free. I didn't trust buying it given the review.

### 1/5 — Crap

*2019-01-24*

Just downloaded and bought a format for converting pdf to cad. In short, does not work. The resulting file is hugely inaccurate and this is a complete waste of money. Don't buy.

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2018-10-11*

I tried the free trial. My file, a map, was too large, so I bought the pdf to dwg converter. I paid $13 for it.
It still does not work. It hangs completely. I’m running a macbook pro with 10.13.6 high Sierra.
A complete waste of money, and there does not seem to be any way to get my money back

### 1/5 — Update killed it

*2018-02-19*

I had purchased  this software to convert a .dae file to .dxf.  It had worked great.  they recently came out with an update and the software crashes whenever I try to run this operation. . . I can’t recommend it.

**Developer response:** Sorry for this question, can you send your dae file to our email address, we will solve the problem as soon as possible. Our email address is moonlight_beauty@yeah.net.

### 1/5 — DOES NOT WORK!

*2017-06-13*

It keeps freezing up, color wheel, application not responding. Complete junk!

I want my money back

**Developer response:** Sorry for this question, when the conversion file is large, the conversion will take a long time (appears color wheel), please be patient waiting for the end of conversion.
