# EstimateHub: PDF to ESX converter for Xactimate

> EstimateHub converts Xactimate and Cotality/Symbility estimate PDFs into ESX files that import directly into Xactimate, so adjusters, contractors and restoration firms do not have to retype line items. It also writes estimates in Xactimate or Cotality/Symbility and offers free Xactimate training. EstimateHub is not affiliated with Verisk or Xactimate.
