Creating PDF Files?????

Is anybody using another program other than Adobe Acrobat to creat pdf
files? I'd like to use another program that's a little easier than Adobe -
suggestions?

I'm having a few problems with Adobe Acrobat and AutoCAD 2002 - here they
are:

1.) I'm using Citrix and Terminal Services to run AutoCAD and Adobe does
not allow the use of their program in that environment. Has to do with
licensing issues.

2.) I can install it locally and create the pdf files but I can't seem to
find Architectural size sheets like 24x36 and 30x42. How do you add these
sizes?

3.) I occasionally get an error that says it's "Unable to locate the
Temporary folder" when I start the plot command. I can't seem to find a fix
for that.

Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Thanks-

I would suggest you give AcroPlot a try from www.cadzation.com

PS.
Do you have permission by Autodesk to run AutoCAD on Terminal Server?

I have used GhostScript and GSView. This can be a little involved as
you have to first generate an EPS file and then process it through
GSView.

More recently I have started using Jaws PDF Creator
(www.jawssystems.com) after I took up the offer on PC World. It is much
easier to use as it generates the PDF file without any intermediate
step.

We've had excellent success with PDF995. It may not be the fastest , most
comprehensive, or best, but fills our needs nicely. It includes all the
standard architectural sizes.
