you can use pstoedit to convert a ps or pdf file to some editable format
like fig.

from dpkg -p pstoedit:
"(...)
 Description: PostScript and PDF files to editable vector graphics
  converter.
  pstoedit converts Postscript and PDF files to various editable
  vector graphic formats including tgif, xfig, PDF graphics, gnuplot
  format, idraw, MetaPost, GNU Metafile, PIC, Killustrator and flattened
  PostScript."
