I do this all the time with pretty good success. Some pdf files cannot be converted though. It depends on if the pdf was created from a vector based program in the first place...

Tried to do this from my GSView 3.2 and I can't find where to export to DXF. Many different options in convert, but no DXF.

You need an add-on to GSView called pstoedit. Have a look at the GSView website, or search for pstoedit

In GSview 4.6, it's under the Edit menu, called "Convert to Vector Format"

Hey
The tips I normaly use is to print the PDF to file using an HPGL plotterdriver. Then I use express tools to open the created PLT file in AutoCAD.

We resell a program called pdf2vector which converts vector PDFs to DXF. It's from Square1 in the Netherlands. Details at http://www.trixsystems.com/pdf2vector.html.

We do free trial connversions so you can check out the results before buying.
