PDF's convert directly into paths when dragged into illustrator, should be a walk in the park.

Buggy Brad found a program (web based I think) that converts images into vectors. It's amazingly good, he gave me a demo. That way you can draw anything, scan it, then convert it to a vector so that it can be cut by a laser / plasma cutter.

vectormagic baby, greatest thing even invented and craps all over illistrator etc.
I was a sceptic but now it has become the first bit of Software I have bought in a long long time.....
Adobe can have vector or image content. If the pdf is made from a vector, then adobe can save it back to a vector. If the pdf was made with an image, then adobe will only be able to convert it back to an image.
From what warb said, your pdf is of an image.
So you need a program to convert an image to a vector. The program Brad linked can do that.
