The open-source program Inkscape can bring in a PDF into a blank document of an appropriate sheet size from which you can then create a DXF that you insert into a blank AutoCAD file. At that point you’ll have the information in DWG which you then need to fit (ie scale/rotate) as needed. The resulting file can be suitable for some tasks. For example as-built sprinkler plans (shop drawings) starting out in PDF format can be turned into a DWG you can reference into a project for information gleaning much as you might do with a light table.
