What actually changes
PDF and DXF are not the same picture in two wrappers.
Vector paths in the PDF are converted into DXF entities on a small number of layers, giving geometry that CAD tools can snap to and modify.
Worth knowing first
PDF describes strokes and fills, not objects. A dimension that reads 2400 in the PDF is three separate lines and a text string, so the number does not update if you move the geometry. Every dimension has to be recreated as a real dimension object.
Questions
PDF to DXF, answered
Do the text labels come across?
Usually as text entities, provided the PDF has a text layer rather than outlined type.
How accurate is the geometry?
Exact to the coordinates in the PDF. Whether those coordinates are at the right scale is a separate question.
