When the adjuster sends a PDF instead of the file, you’re stuck rebuilding the whole estimate line by line before you can even start. Send me the PDF — I’ll hand you back a clean ESX you can import into Xactimate and work.
Adjusters write the estimate in Xactimate, then send only the PDF report. To review it, revise it, or write your supplement, you need the ESX — and half the time you never get it. What should take an hour turns into a full day of retyping.
You retype every line item, quantity, and note by hand from the PDF — hours of duplicate work, and a real chance of missing something before you can even start on your scope.
I rebuild it in Xactimate for you — line items, folders, and F9 notes, checked against the original totals — and send back an ESX you import and go. Most files come back the same day.

Any Xactimate PDF estimate — the carrier’s, the adjuster’s, or your own. Upload it through the work-request form.
I rebuild it in Xactimate
Every line item, folder, and F9 note entered by hand and checked line-for-line against the original totals — not auto-generated.
You get the ESX back
Import it into Xactimate, review, revise, and submit. Same-day on most files; large estimates may take a little longer.
Pay per file, or subscribe monthly if you convert often. Large or commercial estimates are quoted — send it over and I’ll confirm before any work starts.
Every conversion is human-built and checked against the original totals — never auto-generated junk. And because it’s already on my desk, I can QC it, write the supplement, or finish the estimate for you. Just say the word when you send the file.
A native Xactimate ESX file containing all the line items, folder/room structure, and F9 notes from the PDF — reconciled to the original estimate’s total. You import it into Xactimate and work from an editable estimate instead of retyping one.
Most files come back the same day. Larger estimates (1,000+ line items) can take a little longer. When you send the file I’ll confirm the turnaround before anything starts.
Every conversion is rebuilt in Xactimate by hand and checked line-for-line against the original estimate’s totals — not auto-generated. If the numbers don’t reconcile, it doesn’t ship.
The same price list the original estimate was written on — it’s printed on the first page of the PDF. That keeps your ESX identical to the source.
Not at all — the PDF is all I need. That’s the entire point of the service.
Yes. Since it’s already on my desk, I can QC it, write a supplement, or produce the full estimate. Just mention it when you send the file and I’ll quote it.
Upload your estimate and I’ll turn it into a working ESX — and tell you the turnaround before anything starts.
