Export DXF to PDF using C# Code

from aspose.cad import *
from aspose.cad.imageoptions import *

cadImage = Image.load("drawing.dxf")

rasterizationOptions = CadRasterizationOptions()
rasterizationOptions.page_height = 1600.0
rasterizationOptions.page_width = 1600.0

pdfOptions = PdfOptions()
pdfOptions.vector_rasterization_options = rasterizationOptions

cadImage.save("output.pdf", pdfOptions)
