Try the pstoedit package.  I'm not sure if it will do exactly what you
want, but it's worth a try.  For example, you can do: 

pstoedit -f fig filename.ps

and it will convert it as best it is able, to an xfig format file.  It
worked quite well for some stuff I was doing.  

That's for postscript - I don't know about pdf - what's the difference,
anyone? 

Cheers,

Mark.
