Thank you so much for taking the time to do that for me.. I read that attachment & its all foreign to me :) Maybe this winter I will actually force myself to figure this converting stuff out more, so I can design more of my own pieces instead of buying dxf files.. thanks again,, have a great weeekend :)

Not sure this will help much, but I imported the pdf in to Illustrator then exported in to dxf. There was a lot of data in the pdf but you should be able to clean it up. I had to zip it to upload due to the file size.
Hope this helps.

Open it up in Coreldraw. It is already a vector file
