Symbility to Xactimate Converter

Convert a Symbility PDF estimate into an ESX file you can review in Xactimate. Check the extracted descriptions, units, quantities, and prices before exporting.

Can a Symbility PDF become an Xactimate estimate?

ProjectEstimatePro extracts data from the PDF report and exports the reviewed estimate as an ESX file. This is a PDF conversion, not a direct transfer of a native Symbility project. Check that each imported item describes the same work as the source.

Base conversion is free for estimates with up to 65 line items. Larger files and optional features may incur charges.

Key Features

Symbility Format Detection

Automatically recognizes Symbility's line item format, LD/LS units, and subtotal markers.

Line Item Mapping

Review suggested Xactimate codes against the work described in the source.

AI Floor Plan Sketches

Request an optional sketch and compare dimensions and openings with the source plan.

Pricing Preservation

Compare extracted quantities, unit prices, and totals with the source report before export.

Purpose-Built Symbility Parser

Symbility reports can group work and label units differently from your destination estimate. Check bundled work, room subtotals, and pricing adjustments during review. Do not assume that converting a file automatically updates its prices to a current Xactimate price list.

Follow the Symbility conversion review guide for checks on scope, units, pricing, and sketches. For other estimate PDFs, see the PDF-to-ESX converter.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I convert a Symbility PDF estimate to Xactimate ESX format?
Yes. Upload a Symbility PDF, review the extracted rooms and line items, and export an ESX file. Results depend on the source document, so compare the converted estimate with the PDF before using it.
What Symbility data gets transferred to the ESX file?
We extract room names, line item descriptions, quantities, units, unit prices, and totals from your Symbility PDF. You can request an optional sketch, which should be reviewed separately against the source plan.
Do I need both Symbility and Xactimate installed?
No. You only need the Symbility PDF export — you do not need Symbility software installed. You will need Xactimate to open the resulting ESX file.
Why would I need to convert from Symbility to Xactimate?
This workflow is useful when you receive a Symbility PDF but need to work with its estimate data in Xactimate. Review the converted scope and pricing before making further changes.
How should I review suggested Xactimate line-item codes?
Review each suggested code against the source description and intended work. Similar wording can cover different scope, so check the action, material, unit, and quantity before accepting the result.
