If you plot your drawings to a PostScript printer driver, our ps2vector
software will convert it to scalable and editable
- MIF for FrameMaker
- CGM for SGML
- WMF for MS Word and PowerPoint (etc.)
- EMF, the Enhanced version of WMF (supporting bezier curves)
- SVG for HTML/XML web publishing
PostScript as the interchange format is very rich and robust, and it has
been the standard in the printing industry for over two decades.
Besides the capability to edit the graphics in their respective
applications, ps2vector has a lot of filter options you can use to customize
the conversion results (rotate, text-to-paths, white space, etc.)
You can contact me off-list to discuss your requirements and send me some
sample drawings, or you can check us out at the URL below. Hope we can help.
Best regards,
Jeroen Dekker

> We are having problems with taking AutoCad drawings and then integrating

as
> follows:
>
> 1) The quality of the lines are so bad that we are unable to compress the
> final pdf output without a significantly larger file.
> 2) We have to save the AutoCad to PDF then manipulate that file in a
> graphic editing program. In the process, the quality goes down.
>
> I'd be interested in learning how some of you have solved the issue of
> migrating AutoCad drawings into standard desktop publishing applications.
