In this blog post, we will explore a free application to convert DWG to PDF online. DWG stands for “drawing” and it is a proprietary file format of AutoCAD, a computer-aided design (CAD) software application. A DWG file contains 2D or 3D drawings, models, and other design data created with AutoCAD. DWG is used for CAD drawings and models, while PDF is a popular file format for sharing and printing documents.

| using (var image = Image.Load("C:\\Files\\Sample.dwg")) | |
| { | |
| // Create an instance of CadRasterizationOptions and set page height and width | |
| var rasterizationOptions = new Aspose.CAD.ImageOptions.CadRasterizationOptions() | |
| { | |
| PageWidth = 1600, | |
| PageHeight = 1600 | |
| }; | |
| // Create an instance of PdfOptions | |
| var options = new Aspose.CAD.ImageOptions.PdfOptions(); | |
| // Set the VectorRasterizationOptions property as CadRasterizationOptions | |
| options.VectorRasterizationOptions = rasterizationOptions; | |
| // Export DWG to PDF | |
| image.Save("C:\\Files\\output.pdf", options); | |
| } |
Convert DWG to PDF in Java
Please follow the steps given below and use a code sample to convert a DWG to a PDF in Java.

| // Load DWG file in an instance of Image via its Load method | |
| com.aspose.cad.Image objImage = com.aspose.cad.Image.load("C:\\Files\\Sample.dwg"); | |
| // Create an instance of CadRasterizationOptions and set its various properties | |
| CadRasterizationOptions rasterizationOptions = new CadRasterizationOptions(); | |
| rasterizationOptions.setBackgroundColor(Color.getWhite()); | |
| rasterizationOptions.setPageWidth(1600); | |
| rasterizationOptions.setPageHeight(1600); | |
| // Create an instance of PdfOptions | |
| PdfOptions pdfOptions = new PdfOptions(); | |
| // Set the VectorRasterizationOptions property | |
| pdfOptions.setVectorRasterizationOptions(rasterizationOptions); | |
