Good evening community,
I would like to import a file into my AutoCAD drawing. For my case, it is the built plans of Paris, a point cloud and 2D vectors. Only the file appears as follows in my drawing space. Should I convert my file to pdf or dwg format or is there anything to do to open the file?
Thank you

No variant of AutoCAD can import those two file types. Sorry.
The image you see in AutoCAD means nothing.

A GeoJSON file is usually in latitude and longitude, which is a spherical coordinate system and CAD drawings are planar. That means your GeoJSON data has to be projected to a known plane system. The link pendean listed may get you there if you have those products.
There is an add-on for AutoCAD that will allow direct import of GeoJSON files assuming your current drawing is assigned a proper coordinate system.

Nice find.
Since you have the file imported and open, start clicking on objects to find what you can and cannot delete, reach out to that add-on's support team if the imported objects are not working the way you want, it is their conversion tool after all.
Best wishes.
