ESX is the estimate file format Xactimate uses. Converting an Xactimate PDF to ESX turns a flat estimate document into a working file you can edit and re-price. The alternative is retyping every line item by hand.
Restoration contractors run into this constantly. A carrier sends a scope as an Xactimate PDF. A supplement arrives from a TPA in the same format. An archived job from two years ago needs reworking. But none of it is editable until it’s an ESX file.
Convert the PDF in XactRestore Pro, and the editable estimate is there the moment it finishes. You can adjust the scope with AI or by hand and build the job schedule from it. Download the ESX file for Xactimate whenever you need it.
