    Converting .pdf to .dxf

    Hello,

    I have a.pdf file that I need to convert to geometry for a water jet to use. I have Solidworks MasterCam AutoCAd and Esprit.. Solidworks will open a .pdf after I save it as a .ai with adobe illustrator... But when I save it as a .dxf in SolidWorks it makes splines out of the arcs... Is there a trick to this?

    If you have the option, try saving it as a .v12 dxf, which doesn't support splines.

    Can you post a larger version? The one included is too small for a good conversion.
