Free PDF to DWG converter?

Stu

I think this is probably wishful thinking....does something like this exist?

At the moment I'm using a version of AutoCad that was released before PDFs were even dreamed of

I probably should buy a version of IntelliCad but if there is actually a free converter [rather than a trial version] I would be happy with that.

Thanks Guys

There are a few free online PDF2DWG converters...

This program works really well for me. It's a paid program but the demo works and all it does is put some text on the dxf file. You can then delete the text. If you pay for it of course there's no text.

Thanks Tig and Fiona,

As I suspected the free stuff is pretty scratchy, if it works at all... but I did find Able2Extract

Does a good job, converts to DWG as well as DXF, and its possible to set units, line width and scale.

For a $100 it seems reasonable value

Edit:....And thanks Rich and All for the links below
