Default getting the pcb from a pdf file

Hello there!

"pil" wrote in ...
I am trying to manufacture a PCB for the leach amp. I printed the PCB

layout
in the pdf file but it seems that two tracks are too close to each other.

I need to modify the PCB

How do I get the PCB out of the PDF file while keeping it a cad drawing. I
don't want to copy and paste cause then it gets turned into a photo.

The pcb in the pdf seems to be a postscript file


Maybe it's not the solution that helps you by now, but if anyone is
interested in doing pcb rapid prototyping with isolation engraving, these
screenshots may be quite impressive:

I created a complete CAM dataset for drilling, isolation engraving and
contour milling of your pcb layout (I took it from the link posted by Spehro
Pefhany) with my application. It took me less than 15min, without employing
any other image manipulation program.

I did not announce this software broadly until now, but this is such a
typical application for it that I could not withstand ;-)
