How to work with hand-drawn boundaries on raw PDF (map)?

Hey all, I'll try to keep this as short & succinct as I can.

I had a landowner request a Georeferenced map with 15 check site polygons on his property. He sent a image (as a PDF) with the 15 AOI's hand-drawn on the map. After manually georeferencing the TIFF, I ran the Raster to Polygon, but the "pen" size used to draw the check site boundaries is so large (12-14meters wide) that of each check sites dissolve into each other when running the Polygon to Line.
I realize I can trace over the center of each boundary and export that as another layer, but I am hoping for a simpler option before going full manual.

Thanks in advance for any tips, tricks, or guidance you can offer.

With only a few AOIs, could you just trace them by hand? Or are they somewhat complicated in shape?
