I have a 2D plot from a paper and I want to compare my results with it. I am using Matlab and I wonder is there a way I can plot my data on top of the pdf file I have?
Thanks in advance.

I would suggest to make a snapshot of the plot in the pdf and save it as an image file. Then you could extract the data from the plot, for example with this tool from fileexchange: https://de.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/7173-grabit
you can then plot your data and the data from the plot in a new figure.
Another option to keep the original figure design is plot the image, scale the axes and overlay your data on the image. I hope it helps
