In that case, we don’t wanna stick to just vectorized, you wanna actually go with the vectorized and OCR option. Now, we also have raster text here that we want to convert into editable vector text. In this case, for this particular PDF, we’re gonna wanna stick to technical and architecture.
Now, if we’re happy with the edits and the clean up that we’ve done, the next step is to click on convert raster image here right next to the clean image button.

This is a pretty clean raster PDF that we have here, so they’re no need for me to take any of these. And if you have any jagged edges, smooth is going to help. For thin lines, thicken lines would help. Some scans are a little bit messy, they’ll have speckles and holes, that’s where the remove speckles and holes option would come in handy. We have a couple of other options here to clean the image. If the threshold option is grayed out, that means that the image is already black and white. Click on threshold to turn it black and white. The first step is to click on clean image here on the upper left. We know that this is purely raster, lets click on “okay” to open it up. We have contents here in the raster tab but not in the vector. You can cycle through your tabs to check if it’s really a raster PDF. Let’s open up a sample file here of a raster PDF.
So what option do we have for an automatic conversion solution, and this is where scan to CAD comes in.
So you have a raster PDF that you wanted to open up on BricsCAD and you don’t want the have to bother creasing over the raster PDF manually.
