An ESX file is the native estimate file format used by Xactimate. It contains structured line items, quantities, pricing data, and notes that can be directly imported and edited inside the Xactimate estimating platform.Unlike a PDF, an ESX file is fully editable and designed for use in insurance and restoration estimating workflows.
Manually rebuilding a PDF estimate into an ESX file wastes hours and introduces costly errors. EstimateHub automatically converts PDF estimates into structured ESX files ready for Xactimate import.
Most contractor and insurance estimates are shared as PDFs, but PDF files are static and cannot be edited or imported into Xactimate. If you try to work from a PDF, you’re forced to manually rebuild the entire estimate line by line.Converting a PDF to ESX solves this problem by turning a non-editable document into a fully functional Xactimate file.When you convert PDF to ESX, you can:
