Image files that undergo "conversion" usually are of poor quality and many people who take this "shortcut" spend more time editing the results than actually getting anything of value done.  The method I mentioned previously will yield better results.

Hello Olayiwola, by using www.anydwg.com free sofware to convert PDF to DWG you can also try with an image file such as .jpeg but the result can be crude.
Don't rely on it for a precise drawing, just for general views and you will have to treat the file a lot.
 
Find here an example of jpg to dwg

You cannot "convert" a jpeg to a drawing using AutoCAD.  What you can do is attach it as an image and trace over it.  That's it.

If you erased the PDF that you attached why would you expect it to still be visible?  Makes no sense.

Attach a PDF using the PDFATTACH command.
