To what end?
Assuming Illustrator was used for the conversion, you'll have a difficult to edit collection of most likely unconstrained lines and arcs. You might get some items in different layers, but I'm not sure if that is helpful.
A free alternative to Illustrator is Inkscape. Does it export/convert a PDF to a vector format like DXF or DWG?
For raster to vector conversions I use Vector Magic. The output is again going to be limited to unconstrained sketches, so while useful, there are limitations.
You can insert a PDF into say a SOLIDWORKS drawing, but that only shows a single page, and it is often blurry unless the resolution is increased, which of course balloons the drawing's file size.
Are you importing a PDF to help you make a part? Or are you importing a PDF for use in making a drawing?
