If the PDF is a Vector PDF, then AutoCAD will import it as a background.
You can scale it up pretty good. I've only seen it off by very little.
The software to convert has gotten better over the years. It used to be
horrible. Also, if it is a non-vector PDF, then the conversion can be a
nightmare.

Hi Mike,
I thought was my architect responding to my request for CAD files,
back to your issue with 30 years experience and using AutoCAD since
1982 I went through all even lawyer s got involve. My experience in
converting PDF to CAD IS ALMOST impossible to get the accuracy and not
to mention after the conversion it takes tidious work and the accuracy
is often more than 1/8" Wich is about 1 foot when is final.
My rule of thumb is that a PDF file is like looking at a picture of
your girlfriend, can't do much about.
Regards
Walter

I know this topic has come up in the past so let me flog the horse
one more time!
Is there anyway that one can convert it to a CAD file?
