Convert PDF to DWG with Text - automatic

[Anonymous]

I searched but couldn't find it. 
Are there any tool or software to convert PDF to DWG that automatically recognize text and setup the SHX or something like that?
I have something like 2000+ files that need this work of going of PDF to DWG and that the texts should be editable and not vectors or something alike. It can be paid. I really searched and did not find, but there is always hope for that.

AutoCAD has functionality to import PDFs. However, as you have stated, you don't want shx text to be "vectors" (lines). There are no tools to do this in AutoCAD. The process is going to have to be converting PDF vectors to PDF text. From there, you can use the standard AutoCAD PDFIMPORT command.

So the real tool you should be looking for is converting a PDF with vectors to text. Some call this OCR (Optical character recognition)

I don't know if this will convert a vector pdf, however, let us know if you do find a solution.

I'll test this software. But yes, I know I can import the PDF and manually use the SHX tool to convert the text, but my problem is the work to do this and the time because of the 2000+ files that need convertion. 

I'll come back if the software does work.

Thanks

No. 
I found this software

https://www.autodwg.com

that has the "Convert txt" but it does very poorly and the OCR keeps freezing when I try it. I didn't buy because I wanted to test. 

Sadly I still didn't find anything that helps turn this process faster.

AutoCAD's function pdfshxtext converts the text in the drawing. However it
is a poorly made function. I think we can make a routine that uses that
command on every polyline entity in the drawing. If the output doesn't
match a sensible character using (wcmatch txt "!-~") or some other range of
ASCII characters then revert the change and move on. Another routine will
have to be used to cluster the characters into a single text object.

I have tried using the pdfshxtext command on an entire drawing and it
doesn't work. It needs to be selective.
