Hal,

tried coral draw.....to many lines were left out. It probably is a bitmap. It's also to scale and I tried to bring it in to a cad pgm but the scale was wrong. I had a pgm called RASTERVEC which appeared to work very well with the supplied examples but made a hash of the bitmap from the PDF.

I was hoping that someone had written a pgm to covert PDF / bitmaps to dxf etc.


thanks

Many cad and drawing programs will open PDF. Corel is pretty good for that sort
of conversion. If you can figure out what program was used to generate it, you
might even try that. I've been able to open PDFs in Adobe Illustrator that even
have all the layers intact. Of course, the PDF could have nothing but a bitmap
in it, so you'd be back to de-rasterizing it.
