Why convert a PDF to ESX

  • Edit the estimate. A PDF cannot be changed as an estimate. An ESX file can.
  • Add a supplement. Start from the carrier's estimate and add the items it left out. See supplements.
  • Submit where ESX is expected. Some platforms and reviewers ask for Xactimate files rather than PDFs.
  • Reuse the scope. Keep the line items from one job as a starting point for the next.

For best results

Send the original PDF exported from Xactimate rather than a scan or a photo of a printed page. Learn more in what an ESX file is.

Need the estimate written instead?

If there is no estimate yet, we write it. See Xactimate estimates, roof measurement reports and pricing. Looking at how we compare with other tools? See the PDF to ESX comparison.
