dxf2pdf output is mostly empty

javen
I've spent awhile trying to convert from DXF to PDF using dxf2pdf. If I convert with no flags, I get an empty pdf that's 92Kb. If I crank up the DPI, scaling, fit, page size, or otherwise use optional flags, I get a mostly blank PDF with some small artifacts in the lower right hand corner.

Tips on using the command line conversion tool?

Try printing, and print to PDF.

The actual logic paths are quite different.

Dxf compatibility is not always followed, so dxf2pdf is for convenience, but the actual results should based the appearance displayed in librecad.
