Below code snippet follows these steps:

Load an instance of DXF drawing by calling static method ’load’ on ‘Image’ class.
Initialize Export options.
Save output PDF document by calling ‘save’ method of the loaded instance.

import aspose.cad as cad

image = cad.Image.load("file.dxf")
rasterizationOptions = cad.imageoptions.CadRasterizationOptions()
rasterizationOptions.layouts = ["Model"]

pdfOptions = cad.imageoptions.PdfOptions()
pdfOptions.vector_rasterization_options = rasterizationOptions

image.save("result.pdf", pdfOptions)
