What survives the conversion
A file conversion is a translation, and formats do not carry the same things. Here is exactly what moves from Planogram into PDF, and what does not.
| Geometry | Reduced | The vector PDF keeps the line work as editable paths with hidden lines removed. The snapshot PDF is a picture of the view. Neither is 3-D geometry once exported. |
|---|---|---|
| Colors and materials | Kept | PDF carries full color, which is at least what Planogram stores, so the colors come across. |
| Layers and structure | Dropped | The export is flat: one image, one set of pixels. Layers you switched off in the Layers panel are simply not drawn, so the output matches what you see. |
What the PDF writer emits: Two buttons: a snapshot PDF of the current view with caption headers, and a true vector PDF. The vector one re-projects a 3-D model as editable line work with hidden lines removed, and writes a 2-D drawing straight through as native PDF vector objects with its text still selectable.
The source: Spaceman planogram (PLN) (.pln)
The shelving section of a NielsenIQ Spaceman planogram saved as text: every fixture (base, back panel, shelves) as a solid, and every product placement as its facings, sized from the product’s own dimensions, named with the product and its UPC, in centimetres.
The target: PDF (.pdf)
The format anyone can open. For submittals, RFIs, markups and email.
Opens in: Any PDF reader, Bluebeam, Acrobat, Illustrator (vector output).
Your file never leaves your computer
Both the Planogram parser and the PDF writer are JavaScript and WebAssembly running in your own browser tab. There is no upload step, no server-side conversion queue, and no copy of your file anywhere but your machine. That matters for drawings under NDA, for client work, and for anything you would not email to a stranger.

Frequently asked questions
▶Is this Planogram to PDF converter free?
Yes. No signup, no watermark, no per-file limit and no paid tier. Innerscene.
▶Is my Planogram file uploaded anywhere?
No. The file is read with the browser file API and converted in the same tab. Nothing is sent to a server unless you explicitly click Share, which is a separate, opt-in feature.
▶Will my colors and materials survive the PDF export?
PDF carries full color, which is at least what Planogram stores, so the colors come across.
▶Do layers and named parts carry into the PDF file?
The export is flat: one image, one set of pixels. Layers you switched off in the Layers panel are simply not drawn, so the output matches what you see.
▶How large a Planogram file can I convert?
Up to 200 MB, and the ceiling adapts to how much memory your device reports. The conversion runs on your own hardware, so a desktop with plenty of RAM will handle more than a phone.
▶Can I convert PDF back to Planogram?
Not here. We read Planogram and write PDF, but not the reverse. the universal 3D viewer
▶Which browsers does it work in?
Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari, on Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS and Android. No plugin and no extension.
