it is possible to get a pdf transfered back into autocad so i wouldnt care much for this idea of safeguarding copyright. if you do a search for pdf to autocad on the internet you get alot of products that wil do this for you. Autocad has an addon itself to allow you do this. I have used it in the past and it works perfect.
This aside if you have paid for the product the architect should release the drawing in what ever way you like. The reason he dosnt give it to you is so you dont copy it. If you get them re-done thats exactly what your doing so copyright really dosnt come into it.

There is a subtle difference. If the architect's autocad work is freely distributed, there is a (possibly remote but still potential) risk that someone else could alter aspects of this and pass off the amendments as having been made by the architect
I don't see the additional cost in producing the construction drawings being huge even if produced here in Ireland (relative to the cost for the production of the specifications etc.).You could send the PDF files to a draftsman in India; it would cost less than €150 to get them re-done as CAD drawings.
