Largely depends on the content of the PDF.

If it was scanned then it contains raster data, you'll have to trace it.

 

If it was printed to PDF, you can import the geometry into AutoCAD, but don't expect it to be perfect. It will have a certain margin of error. OK for a picture, but not for digital take off.

Thank you for sharing that with me. I will keep that info to try here shortly. I was able to type in "pdfimport" and was able to import it that way.

That’s exactly the command I posted. Glad you figured it out
