I need a hookup - .dwg to .pdf

**pecha** · 01-27-2008, 08:38 PM

Anybody has a program that converts .dwg to .pdf? My autocad doesn't seem to have such an option.
Hook brotha up!

my gf drew the house plan for a friend and he needed it printed. the printer can't print out of anything else than .pdf

you'd think they would have a program to convert files...

what version of autocad are you using?

Autocad can print to pdf or save to file as a pdf with any of its dwg or dxf files.

to this, you must be in autocad, goto the file menu and choose print/plot then for a printer choose adober acrobat pdf writer, then choose print to file.

this is missed often since it seems odd to have to print the file and not save the file

This is what I use. http://www.pdf995.com/

Makes it a simple Print function in autocad or any other program for that matter.
