ArcMap (MXD) to CAD (DWG/DXF)

[SibghatUllah1]

I am trying to convert MXD document with legend to DWG/DXF. I have prepared the template file containing block and used  tools "add Cad fields" and "Export to cad" using python reading domain coded values . I have to convert the layout (legend, scale-bar and North arrow) also to CAD. I have done some research and found the way is to convert the layout to pdf and then use some convertors pdf to dxf. Is there any other method?

normally one converts featureclasses to cad... particularly if you want a useable layer in cad and not just something like a picture
