How to Convert DWG to PDF in Java

This simple topic exhibits how to convert DWG to PDF in Java by providing the complete details to configure the application environment and a step-wise procedure to write the application code. The CadRasterizationOptions class object can be used to further customize the desired output PDF file according to your needs. In this example to export the DWG file to PDF in Java, we have demonstrated the setting of the page size for the target PDF file.

Steps to Export DWG to PDF in Java

  1. Set up the project environment to add Aspose.CAD for Java from the repository manager to convert DWG to PDF
  2. Load the source DWG file using an instance of the Image class
  3. Create an object of the CadRasterizationOptions class to set the output PDF page size
  4. Create a PdfOptions class object and set the VectorRasterizationOptions property
  5. Export the DWG file as a PDF file using the save method

The afore mentioned steps entail the process to convert DWG file to PDF in Java using simple API calls, whereby we will commence by loading the source DWG file using the Image class instance, which is then followed by creating an instance of the PdfOptions class to set the output PDF customization options. Finally, the converted DWG will be saved as a PDF file on the disk based on defined rasterization settings.

Code to Export DWG to PDF in Java

The above example code can be used to write a DWG to PDF converter software in Java as all the required class references and methods are mentioned in it. The CadRasterizationOptions class object is used to customize the output PDF rendering options like the page size, draw color, draw type, background color, layers, pen options, layouts, and quality to name a few.

In this example, we have learned about the process to convert DWG file to PDF in Java. If you are interested in learning about converting a DWG file to an SVG, refer to the article how to convert DWG to SVG in Java.
