Agree - as far as I know, this is not possible.

Since a PDO file has much more information than a PDF, fully automatic conversion is one-way only. The PDO format describes the 3D geometry of faces and how they are joined spatially, plus the mapping between 3D and 2D textures. The converted PDF will only contain a flat raster plus a bunch of unrelated lines (and if you don't use the "sharp lines" feature when printing, not even the lines). Not to mention PDFs not generated from PDOs.
Think of it: given a PDO, a tool like Pepakura Viewer can display and rotate the model in 3D, and show where each part goes. Without a lot of metadata (which Pepakura has no reason to include) PDF is not enough to recover those capabilities.

Possible but tedious. If the original file is a vector file and was converted to pdf, you can import it to vector softwares like illustrator. you need to manually breakdown the vector images and export it to dxf format. you can now open the dxf format in pepakura and save it as pdo file. dont expect a miraculous 3d object to appear bec the vector file would be in 2d. :0
