Pdf to autocad importing?

[macareewall]

I am using PDFIN PDF to DWG converter from autodwg, it is a plug-in of autocad. It let me convert both vector and raster PDF to DWG. You can get a try with it to see if it is what you are asking.

Correct, it will be a "dumb" drawing of just lines and such. But sometimes this is better than nothing

That is exactly what I was saying. But CAD64 is right about a PDF not containing "drawing information" when that means "blocks", "dimensions", "hatch patterns", etc.

Other than the ability to maintain layers, PDF's (and DWF's for that matter) are not much more than a plot file.

We deal with a certain agency that only offers PDF files for our use. We must convert these to AutoCAD drawings so certain things can be fixed or updated. We use the PDF Import tool in ToolPac to do this and it works great.

To import PDF into AutoCAD, you can use a product with is from AutoDWG. In all of the importers, this does a good job.
