I trace over non vector PDFs but for vector PDF's I use the following with
really good results.
Both free programs - might have to google them: Both are needed for the
conversion.

Ghostgum GS View 4.9
Ghostscript 9.18

When both are installed you run Ghostgum GSVIEW and open your PDF.
EDIT> CONVERT TO VECTOR FORMAT
>Format: DXF

There's two DXF options - I have best results with the one that states:
DXF_S: CAD EXCHANGE FORMAT WITH SPLINES

Sometimes you get lucky and there's a lot of layer info in the original PDF
which gets converted to different layers in the DXF file. Most times
everything will convert with two or three layers available.

I hope that helps.
