No. pdf2cad is not raster-to-vector software. It cannot bitmaps into editable lines, shapes and objects. Raster images in the PDF file are saved as separate TIFF or JPEG files and referenced in the DXF output. So when you open the DXF in AutoCAD, you will see the images show up as well.

This program also creates an file with an ugly name AcrobatDistiller in your home directory containing your preferences. If you delete this file no harm will be done except that you'll be asked the compatibility questions again.
