Is it possible to trace the lines in a vector PDF?

Asking for a friend (literally... a colleague asked me this yesterday and I had no idea): does Pro have a tool or workflow that allows users to easily trace lines in a vector PDF? She said it is easily accomplished in Trimble software.

I'm not talking about feature extraction... just tracing similar to how we can trace line and polygon features using the trace tool.

Thanks!

If it is a vector PDF, you can add it directly to your map and use the same trace tools you mentioned, you would just need a target feature class to hold the traces.  If it is not a vector pdf, you can convert to a tiff, georefence the image and then trace the shapes.
