PDF

Does anyone know of any softwares (freeware, shareware..) that is
available that will convert the file from dwg to PDF format?
I need this info by today.

Thanks

 

HiHo;
This on works for free http://www.pdf995.com/
and this site will do it for you http://www.k2pdf.com/

 

PDFCreator
http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdfcreator/
"PDFCreator has been great!!! It works with all the programs I've printed from... No problems with AutoCAD drawings either!"

Acroplot
http://cadzation.com
"Acroplot is excellent. Can't recommend it highly enough."

Free pdf

"Free PDF Is my favorite. I highly recommend it. Adobe Acrobat writer has a problem with Text masks and Wipeouts, while Free PDF works flawlessly. I've done comparative tests on the same Dwg's and Acrobat either put an outline of the Text masks and Wipeouts or blacked them out. Be aware it will involve manual configuration and a little knowledge of Windows but the site provides a Configuration tutorial and NG."

Jaws PDF creator

These were all suggested last week on the Autodesk newsgroups as good and reliable alternatives to Adobe Acrobat. The quotes are from the people making the suggestions, not me - we use CadPublisher:
http://www.jwgraphics.com.au/
which is highly configurable and has many other output formats.

Amethyst CADconvert, convert directly DWG --> PDF
in batch mode.

I purchased Adobe Arcobat 6 Pro specifically because the box stated it would
convert directly to PDF from AutoCAD. It works for 2002 but guess what -
it won't do so from 2004.
