does anyone know how to change a pdf file to be able to vectorise?

What software are you using? Some pdf are vector so it's worth checking.

Sorry I didn't even see the Signblazer at the top. It's been a long day. Can't help you I haven't used Signblazer in years but I'm sure help will be along shortly

Here'e what I would do --

 

1. Open the .pdf file in your Acrobat Viewer

2. Select (All)

2. Copy

3. Paste into Inkscape

4. Convert (Path/Tracebitmap)

5. Delete bitmap -- retain the vector

6. Copy

7. Paste into Signblazer

you can open a .pdf with Inkscape. then just save it out as an .eps file.

Not all PDF files are vectors though. Open it with Inkscape and try to node edit it. If you can then just save as EPS, if you can't you'll need to trace it and create a vector.

Using a PDF document converting control, you are able to convert PDF file to vector images, like SVG. Here is a detailed guide for changing PDF to SVG vector image.

This is certainly NOT a "detailed guide" but IS a blatant spam advertisement to a commercial product. Unfortunately, it's an API product suited only to dot-net programmers. I doubt you'll drum up any business here for that. Maybe ytou should spam someplace else!

Bring up your pdf file in SB.  Click on image, mode then monochrome. After you do that go back to image, vectorize. Drag you monochrome image off and delete. What is left is your vectorized image. Just go in and node edit to clean it up.
