Help: Question on Vector Drawing

Hey everyone!

It's been a while since I've posted anything. I actually had a question for anyone who could help me.

I have several technical drawings of our building maps that apparently are in .pdf format. I am wanting to see if there is a way to automatically convert them into a vector drawing that is scalable and editable. I was thinking Illustrator would work just fine, but I can't seem to get it quite right with Live Trace/Tracing Options and it completely botches the text.

Because I can't install anything at work, I'm actually stuck with working in Microsoft Visio. So eventually I'll want to import it to that program and work on it from there. As far as I know, Visio can accept .CAD, .EMF, and .WMF formats.


Any ideas without having to retrace this manually? Thanks all!

I am from the Chicagoland area. When I was in high school I had taken all the art courses I could to delve into my fascination with drawing. Life happened out of high school, and I had taken an 8 year hiatus. Finally, I've decided to follow what I was once afraid to do and grow to become a concept artist/freelance illustrator someday. I have always been fascinated with concept art for video games and film. I have recently started my journey to try to pursue that and am trying to learn everything I can about the art. I am now an online student of Academy Art University of California to receive my BFA in Illustration. I am looking for any training, mentorship, and guidance to direct me towards that goal and become a better artist, make friends along the way, and become a better person.
