Bruce,
Inkscape can open PDFs and save as DXF, but I've had better results with Vectric Cut2D which can open pdfs directly,
Nathan
Thanks Nathan. i will give it a try
I tried cut 2d but it seemed to load every page of the pdf at once.
Just loaded inkscape and it worked a treat. You can select which page to load and then save them to dxf. Thanks Nathan
Better Better DXF output is worth plugging in to Inkscape:

You can do that by advanced Acrobat reader.
