FAQ ▼

What is an HPGL file?

HPGL (Hewlett-Packard Graphics Language) is a vector-based file format used by plotters and CAD systems. It contains instructions for drawing lines, arcs, and text, typically in technical drawings and schematics.

Why convert HPGL to PDF?

Converting HPGL to PDF makes technical drawings easier to share, print, and archive. PDF is a universal format that can be opened on any device without requiring specialized software or hardware.

Will the converted PDF maintain the drawing�s precision?

Yes. The converter preserves line accuracy, scale, and vector geometry, ensuring that the PDF output matches the original HPGL drawing with high fidelity.

Can I adjust paper size or orientation during conversion?

The converter automatically adjusts the layout for best fit, but for custom page sizes and orientation, we recommend using the desktop version of the tool.

Does this tool support color HPGL files?

Yes. If your HPGL file contains color plotting instructions, the converter will retain them in the resulting PDF (as long as the source includes color information).

Is any software installation required?

No. The conversion is fully online and works in your browser. No drivers or plotter emulators are needed.

Is it safe to upload confidential CAD drawings?

Yes. All uploaded HPGL files are transferred securely and deleted automatically from our servers shortly after conversion to protect your data.
