    My company has AutoCAD 2005LT and up until a week ago I was able to
    convert DWG. files to PDF by simply going to plot and clicking Adobe
    PDF as if it were a plotter. It would auotmatically Plot directly to
    PDF File format. Somehow that ability has disappeared from the system
    and I cant figure out how to add adobe back as a plotter to make it
    produce PDF files all that it does is plot Eriched Post Script Files
    which I then have to convert to AdobePDF. Files and resave them in PDF
    Format. Does anyone know how to add adobe as a plotter so that autoCAD
    will plot directly to PDF format? Any input would be very useful.
    Thanks For taking the time to read this

  3. Go to the windows add a printer wizard and add a new local printer.

    For the port pick "My Documents\*.pdf"
    For the drver pick "Adobe PDF Converter"

    If these options are not available you may have to re-install Adobe. Or just
    pick anything then once the printer is installed right click on it and go to
    properties and see if the selections are available there in the tabs
