You possibly can import CAD recordsdata into SketchUp. In case your PDF recordsdata have Vector information you should utilize a program like Inkscape to transform the PDF to .dxf and them import that. If the PDF is just raster information you can also make a screenshot of the web page and import that as a picture into SketchUp.

FWIW, the free model isn’t for industrial use as you’ve been doing.
