print / plot PDF underlay as vector

Is printing a PDF underlay as vector linework possible? if so, how?

 

My goal is to insert a vector PDF as an underlay into AutoCAD for Mac 2016, draw my content, and then print / plot or export the file to a new PDF retaining the original PDF linework as vector. I assume this should be possible, as AutoCAD has no trouble parsing, displaying, or snapping to a PDF underlay, correctly interpreting the vector geometry. However, any method in which I attempt to output a PDF file inevitably converts the PDF underlay to raster, which looks terrible and/or increases file size. 

 

I have tried printing, publishing, and exporting. I have changed the PDF underlay clipping, monochrome, background colors, and dpi settings. I have changed the viewport display settings. I have used the AutoCAD export function, the save file as PDF option, and created a dummy printer driver to plot to file. Help, or at least put me out of my misery by confirming this is not possible.

 

Thanks in advance
