PDF to Polyline outline

I use AutoCAD LT for pattern making - I upload PDFs and then trace them with a polyline, vertex by vertex. My question is: is there a way to import a PDF directly to polylines without having to trace over my imported PDF by hand.

If your PDF is of the "vector' variety, PDFIMPORT command will help you shave time off that process.
If your PDF is of the "raster" variety, you'll probably need to buy or find a really good free 3rd party program to convert it for you.
