    Hello,
    I need to capture some drawings from PDF and export them to AutoCAD(objects:
    lines, curve, circles etc. that is lossless zoom, similar to vectors)

    Well the creating PDF form AutoCAD is possible so is there any tool or
    techniques to do vise versus?

    Thanks in advice,
    Edgar

    AFAIK, there's no way to go from PDF back to DWG that restores objects like
    circles, arcs, other curves and text. What you'll get is a jillion little
    line or polyline segments.

    There have been a number of options discussed here. Ghostscript tends to be
    mentioned fairly often. Do a Google search for more ideas.

    Yes there is, but as far as I know the plugin we use at the office is tailor
    made for one specific type of PDF ( drawings of land parcels, from the dutch
    cadaster). AFAIK these are automatically generated PDF's by an online
    mapping service and thus are all exactly the same.. The plugin was made
    in-house by one of our programmers as a kind of hobby project, I can look
    into it for you if you want?
