PDF to DFX

Post by chadrick3 »

I have a PDF print which can be printed say at a copy shop (a licensed file which I purchased) but can a PDF be converted to a DFX so I can run this thru my CNC?

some PDF files contain vector graphics, in which case you can import it into vector editing software, if it is not password protected against editing

some PDF files contain raster graphics, in which case you can copy/paste (if allowed) or do a screen capture, to save a standard image (jpeg or gif or bmp), then use raster to vector software

the best way depends on what software you have, and whether the PDF is password protected against editing...
