I know that AutoCAD 2017 edition has the ability to import PDF and
convert to DWG. If you have the latest version, it works really well.
I'm not sure of early versions.

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.

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?
