getting the pcb from a pdf file

I am trying to manufacture a PCB for the leach amp. I printed the PCB layout
in the pdf file but it seems that two tracks are too close to each other.

I need to modify the PCB

How do I get the PCB out of the PDF file while keeping it a cad drawing. I
don't want to copy and paste cause then it gets turned into a photo.

The pcb in the pdf seems to be a postscript file

You can edit it in Adobe Illustrator. I don't know of a free way.

Is it this one?

I see (close to) breaks not lines too close together.

Adobe Photoshop can also edit this document. You should clean up some
of the funky voids in the traces.
